There is nobody on this board with the expertise, training, and knowledge to answer that.
Neither do a bunch of "progressive" jackass presidential hopefuls who are simply parroting things they have heard and are pandering to their base composed of pimply faced adolescents and old hippys
Playing armchair expert on an obscure message board is an exercise in both futility and self-conceit.
Same goes for a bunch of "progressive" jackass presidential hopefuls who are simply parroting things they have heard and are pandering to their base composed of pimply faced adolescents and old hippys
Anyone on an obscure message board who claims they have the solution to global warming needs to check their ego.

On the other hand, anyone who claims addressing global warming will result in a Soviet-style command and control "massive intrusion" into people lives is parroting what they heard on Fox Noise, and that type of sloganeering telegraphs their abject ignorance on the subject matter.
Don't even try it! We've heard straight from the horse's(jackass's)mouth Ban meat, ban air travel, ban nuclear, ban fossil, ban coal!
The experts are going to have to come up with solutions that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase carbon sequestration, and identify and implement adaptation strategies for our infrastructure, public works, and remaining healthy ecosystems.
This was something I thought the paris accords was supposed to do. There's still a butt load of countries signed onto that thing, what have they come up with?
It is going to cost money.
But, but, but...the national debt! The deficit!
But the economics also have to factor in the cost of doing nothing. What is the cost to society, to our pocketbooks, and to the environment if we do nothing and continue to relentlessly spew billions of tons of heat-trapping GHGs into the atmosphere,[/I]year after year, decade after decade, with no thought of trying to limit it?
I heard somewhere that at a cost of about
16 TRILLION DOLLARS,we might be able to lower the global temp by 1.5 degrees C by 2035. For 16 TRILLION DOLLARS, I better need an arctic parka and an engine block heater to run my truck, and I live in South Florida
My judgment is that a "do nothing" strategy will cost your pocketbook and your quality of life far more in the long run, than spending money on mitigation and adaptation in the short run.
You're on an "obscure message board", you don't have "the expertise, training, and knowledge" to make a judgement like that
