    Really couldn’t disagree more with this article but here’s the big one that stands out:

    Second, what must be done runs directly counter to the way the economy currently works.

    It does not run counter to our existing system at all. We don’t live in capitalist anarchy, we have a government that can act pretty broadly here, actually. The government can and has done cap and trade on NOx and SO2. The government can and has provided tax credits to make alternative energy more cost effective sooner.

    If your complaint is that solutions to your prioritized issue are coming too slow, join the club, that’s definitely true. But that is a different complaint.

      Government is the only player who can provide a solution short of a revolution.

      The issue is that we have criters and their boomer enables who think this is the their turn to loot younger generations. So reforms are not ton the table.

      Selection of critters up for vote does not install any confidance, at this rate something might happen in 2030s.
