The climate change crisis - the fossil fuel Greta blasphemers and the right wing this is hot air (no pun intended) deniers. This blame game is precisely what we don't need.
Here are ways we can peacefully co-exist without stupidly swinging pendulum on either side and making this political
1. Grow more trees, save forests, lots of them. Easy cheap. The hardest thing
we haven't been able to do is replicate, artificial photo-synthesis. Let every
road divider, horizontal building space have greenery.
2. Carbon capture and sequestration. Use CO2 in concrete, building material,
asphalt, polymerize! Develop polywood and concrete material as preferred
building material, stop using wood.
3. Get back to glass bottled beverages, stop making cheap plastic bottles that
end up in landfills & beget incineration. Build consumer items w/ reclaimed
CH4, carbon.
4. Build more nuclear reactors with PASSIVE safety, incapable of meltdown in
catastrophic failure. Augment with wind/solar/hydrocarbon, use techniques to
recycle wind blades, pulverize/redeploy solar silica cells.
5. Reduce flaring of waste gas at refining facilities. Reclaim waste heat from
depleted uranium/plutonium fuel incapable of fission with water/steam or at
least friggin tropical plants.
6. Promote SAF & recycled hydrocarbon fuels, triple hybrid vehicles (using
gas/diesel, electric for start/stop, solar perovskite roof, trunk/hood to
charge DC bus.
8. Deploy insulation and heat-exchangers for every chiller/boiler system to reduce or recover lost heat. It may not seem like a lot but it adds up.
9. Countries lagging behind in their rail system ought to beef this up. Railroad usage by passengers reduces auto driving. North America, this goes to you. Where are your high speed trains and car-rentals outside rail stations?
10. Finally we are the idiots that got ourselves here. We only accentuate our positions as arguing "intellectual morons" by blaming each other rather than unifying to fix it. Let's do more with less.
