[quote=Anonymous]Democratic solutions would only work if people cared. Most people don’t care that much.  How many people are willing to give up meat?  Or even beef?  Or even pay substantially more for it to internalize the environmental cost?  How would people feel about politicizes that substantially increase the cost of air travel or home heating/cooling, or driving?  
Also, have you seen the threads on solar panels—all people care about is whether they will pay for themselves in a relatively short time frame. 
Or all the posts mocking people who get Tesla’s as self absorbed d-bags.  Feel how you want about Elon Musk but people buying Tesla’s are paying more to provide a social benefit in the form of decreased fossils fuel consumption and increasing the supply lines for EV generally.  But people don’t seem to appreciate the fact that will help bring down costs of EV for everyone.

This all also makes me think of that show Occupied….the truth is no one is really willing to make the sacrifices necessary.

Maybe in 1000 years the human population will be “right sized” for the planet and a new balance established.  [/quote]
