From a comment there about planting trees or preventing deforestation...isn’t the problem now that climate extremes will make it harder to expand forests with droughts and fires? Seems like it may have worked 50 years ago but too late now.
I think we need to start investing in ideas that remediate actively and aggressively. Like “oh my god there’s a killer asteroid about to hit us” level of motivation.
I mean the planet will do just fine without us, but if we want to stay the dominant species (and not jellyfish), we had best do as inventors/investors what politicians and governments cannot.
Like:
* Make totally off the grid solar easier and cheaper than PG&E (remarkably hard to do today)
* zero petroleum scalable ag
* zero petroleum mass consumer packaging
* recycling that actually recycles
* economically profitable global scale carbon capture that can work in deserts and fires and extreme cold
