re: #207 Gus

Are we doing anything quickly?

No we aren’t and that’s the problem. At 400ppm we’re at a point where the script is written. We need to do something to reduce emissions dramatically in the short term, not the long term.

So far the only method that has a chance of reducing emissions over that short period is the stick. Humans respond faster when their pocket books are affected so a carbon tax is the best choice now. However that tax needs to be reinvested into new technologies so contrary to what some say, the tax doesn’t just disappear into the aether.
