Yah but we can manage Nuclear waste. We canβt manage runaway climate change. CO2 is the enemy.
Really? How?

But the important part is that we can not manage CO2, the existential threat.
CO2 is not an existential threat, corporations and financial entities are because what we call polution, they call it life.
Yes CO2 is the existential threat. Even in socialist countries CO2 is produced.
Economic systems and forms of production do not make energy sources clean. Socialist and capitalist countries both ought to and must fight against CO2 production.
Socialist countries? Of course definitions vary, so which ones are you referring to?
Also neo-libs don't want any state interference on business, unless it involves bailing them out with tones of money. So which capitalist country will do otherwise with so much lobbying going on?
Whatever ones exist now or have ever existed as defined by you.
Your answer is a conversation stopper and I will respect that.
I respect your position. But for clarity, the reason I offered you such a choice is to offer you the best opportunity to present a strong case.
