  1. Doesn’t matter, like most things humans do not pursue logical responses, ignoring climate change is a emotional response.

    Nobody cares about economics or externalities or studies or research or whatever. They care about validation, grievance, culture.

    Thankfully green energy is so much cheaper we will naturally transition anyway, but it won’t be because of climate change prevention, and it wont be nearly as quickly as it should be.

  2. If the economic argument holds for stopping warming the slow way, then it’s even better for stratospheric aerosol injection, which is well proven, easy, and ridiculously cheap

    There’s a company doing exactly this right now. You can offset the warming caused by your carbon emissions for extremely cheap.
