How about taking some of the military budget off .
Or taxing emissions?
That’s because cash isn’t needed to fix the issue of climate related problems. Strong government regulations are and that is an unthinkable solution for believers in free market capitalism.
​
The type of regulations that would be needed would be things like banning mega yachts, private jets and other sorts of things of that nature which hurt the profit margins which is absolutely not going to happen in these countries whose governments are ran by the people causing the problem.
… John Kerry, President Biden’s climate envoy, announced at the talks a new carbon credit initiative … including … Pepsi and McDonald’s …
Pepsi? The second largest plastic polluter in the world?
McDonald’s? The largest seller of beef worldwide, has been linked to deforestation in the Amazon and other regions?
Corporate interests win again. I don’t see how is this different from what UAE is doing.
