Sounds Hot!! Let’s do it!!
Even if it’s true.
Throwing money at it won’t fix it.
Carbon tax is just the latest way to fleece people out of their money.
While I would agree that a carbon tax isn't going to fix the problem, throwing money at the problem will fix it.
How are they going to fight it?
What are they gonna make with all that money that will fix it?
An operational fusion reactor would fix all our global warming problems pretty much overnight. In the mean time, technological advancements in renewables and energy storage can push us in the right direction.
There is no way, no matter how much money you throw at it will soak up all this Methane CO2, Etc to you guys seemed to think it coming.
Methane, while 20x more potent as a greenhouse gas, isn't the problem. Methane degrades in the atmosphere, which is why we look for methane when we examine the atmospheres of exoplanets in other star systems. There are some non-organic sources of methane, but the amount they produce is small when compared to methane produced by living organisms. When an exoplanet passes in front of its star and we can see the star light filtering through the planet's atmosphere, we can use spectroscopy to record the light we see and that spectroscopy tells us which molecules are absorbing or emitting photons, which gives us the chemical makeup of the atmosphere the light is shining through.
Any planet with a high concentration of methane would get the full attention of every astronomer in the world.
Methane must be constantly replenished because sunlight destroys it in a chain of upper atmospheric chemical reactions. Release a methane molecule with a fart, and it has the life expectancy of a dog.. Well, for our atmosphere anyhow.
CO2 is a whole different animal. The bond's between carbon and oxygen are strong and they don't break down. CO2 will stay in the atmosphere and the only practical way to remove it is to let natural processes suck it up and store it, and those processes take a very long time.
Thinking giving Trillions to The EU is going to fix anything is asinine.
If it’s as bad as you say it is then it’s to late and you might as well kiss your butt goodbye.
The problem can be fixed if we act now, which is what we're doing.. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of ignorant morons running around in society that are easy to manipulate so that's exactly what anyone who profits from hydrocarbons (oil) does..
