Id like lemmings take on how they would actually reduce emissions on a level that actually makes a difference (assuming we can still stop it, which is likely false by now, but let’s ignore that)

I dont think its as simple as “tax billionaires out of existence and ban jets, airplanes, and cars” because thats not realistic.

Bonus points if you can think of any solutions that dont disrupt the 99%'s way of life.

I know yall will have fun with this!

    Not possible. In order to be effective we need a global generational commitment that is beyond our current capacity for cooperation.

    China, US, India, Russia. 1, 2, 3, 4. Guess who is least likely to take part in a global agreement?

    Russia and China signed on to the Paris agreement, but largely ignore it. Trump famously pulled the US out of the agreement. Twice.

    India has been making the right noises about hitting goals by 2030, but I’m not sure how they’re actually progressing, not that it means much without Russia, China and the US.

    We need an agreement that commits our people not just now, but for multiple generations into the future without regard to who the individual rulers of the countries are. Won’t happen.
