Reply to comment by PuzzBat9019 in Big Tech is laying staff off, but climate tech is hiring by berlinparisexpress

Exponential growth isn't a problem, as technology and effincy improves guess what you get.....growth.

also laughs in africa and the rest of the developing world they could give a shit less what westerners think.

So the obvious solution would be......a carbon tax.

Yes, a carbon tax is a great solution, but we the people have a hard enough time as it is to convince the deniers/brainwashed into realizing that climate change is a real threat. So, they not only don’t support us, but sometimes fight us.

We need time that we don’t have, so I feel like this is a great backup option of dumping money and efforts into improving our situation, educating the public, and providing cheaper and better options to finally force the hands of the greedy elite.

Yeah I agree, they tried to implement a carbon tax in France, and it resulted in the yellow vest movement. Working class people don't appreciate being told they will be taxed for need based consumption when the wealthy are creating huge emissions.
