@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot And what are REAL, PRACTICAL measures proposed to stop pumping CO2 into atmosphere, that will help? Not signing memorandums. I searching for list of real, practical, doable actions. Not 'reduce emissions for 100500%", but specific real measures. E. g. "upgrade all public transport to electric", or "use material X instead of material Y in construction", "use tech A instead of tech B in industry C"... and so on. All I see regarding climate change, is reports about skyrocketed temp.

@koteisaev@mastodon.online @bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot on some level it’s really simple: we need to stop extracting fossil fuels, and start refossilizing atmospheric greenhouse gasses. Policy-wise, we could ban renewal of extraction permits and international trade contracts; the engineers already know how to adapt the energy companies, they’re waiting on the owners to give the word, which won’t happen until it’s required. Existing permits and contracts are long enough for most of the transition

@koteisaev@mastodon.online - address corruption in governments, reduce donation limits and limit $$ lobbying - add unavoidable carbon taxes and limits on companies - move to renewable fuels - electrify and expand public transit, - reduce speed limits across all roads (including interstate highways) - include carbon burnt overseas from exported products in each country's emissions - legislate ambitious minimum fuel efficiency for vehicles - ban especially inefficient vehicles - use carbon capturing concrete
