QUORA QUESTION#8
Posted June 1, 2021
on:QUESTION: What helps and does not help combat climate change?
ANSWER:
(1): Global warming is a Global issue created by humans all over the world burning fossil fuels. The climate action needed is a Globally coordinated program to reduce Global fossil fuel emissions all the way down to zero. This global nature of the problem and the required global format of the solution is why the UN was brought in.
(2): It was thought that the UN could repeat their global Montreal Protocol success in the climate change issue. As it turned out, the UN failed to live up to those expectations simply because the expectations were irrational. Overhauling the world’s energy infrastructure is a huge and deeply invasive project that cannot be compared with changing the type of refrigerant we use.
(3): The bottom line is that there is no globally coordinated program to reduce global fossil fuel emissions. This is the issue.
(4): As a result climate action has morphed into an eco wacko game consisting of the climate heroism of nation states, climate action with carbon cycle interventions as in “net zero”, climate action with what is called “woke” economics which holds that climate change is a creation of the evils of capitalism, and, an undefined eco wacko climate action of environmentalism where the idea is that climate change is a creation of the environment being overwhelmed with humans and human technology and human activity.
(5): A failed climate movement has thus morphed into an eco wacko movement disconnected from the real issues and this movement has added to the state of confusion where everyone is in the climate movement but without a common definition or a common direction for climate action.
(6): Climate science has succeeded a little too well in making climate change an activism of the people and that has led to this state of confusion.
(7): Details in the documents linked below.

(8): EXCERPT FROM WOKE ECONOMICS: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/05/16/grantham-institute-climate-change/
EXCERPT:
THE PRESENTATION BY THE GRANTHAM INSTITUTE MAKES THE CASE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF FINANCE AND ECONOMICS IS INCOMPLETE AND DANGEROUSLY FLAWED WHEN ECONOMICS IS UNDERSTOOD IN THE ABSENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS.
THIS ARGUMENT IMPLIES THAT CAPITALISM AS PRACTICED IS A DANGEROUS TOOL THAT IS SHORT TERM AND WITH ASSUMPTIONS THAT EXCLUDE NATURE. THE POINT OF THIS PRESENTATION IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE CONTEXT IS THE IMPLICATION THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A CREATIION OF CAPITALISM AND THAT THESE KINDS OF THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF WE DON’T FIX OUR ECONOMICS SYSTEM AND THAT WE CAN AND MUST FIX OUR ECONOMICS SYSTEM WITH AN ECO WACKO AGENDA INSERTED INTO ECONOMICS AND FINANCE TO INCLUDE NATURE AND THE PLANET BECAUSE WE ARE PART OF NATURE. THESE CHANGES TO OUR ECONOMICS SYSTEM ARE NEEDED SO THAT WE DON’T END UP DESTROYING THE PLANET.

I need a proof that CO2 and temperature is more than a accidental correlation. (I remember times when you were more critical to this hypothesis.)
