I've grown weary of problems without actionable solutions. We all know we are facing an environmental crisis. We all know this. Honestly? It will take a World War II level intervention to alter this significantly & a lot of diplomacy to engage other nations to do the same.

Most folks talking about the environment lead you off a bridge to oblivion. They point out the problem, but couldn't answer how to fund an initiative like this. Most are still chasing Bitcoins and berries.

The truth is, the window is tightening.

It requires real solutions. Real solutions that require an understanding of how to mobilize resources but leveraging the public purse.

I gauge the efficacy of all environmental work by how they Marshall resources in their solutions.

If they think taxes are a tool to fund, I try to educate. However... after a bit. When you see folks steadfastly ignore the economics that enables our ability to survive...

I stop taking you seriously.

Any carbon tax deal is as a behavior modification plan, not to fund the programs.

It's time we get very serious in going beyond screaming about the problems & began to, in earnest, talk specifically to the people so they can apply pressure & handle dialogue to answer the ultinate??? that has kept us from mitigating the crisis:

"HOW ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR IT?"

There can be no wiggle room.

Its put up or shut up time.

We have 12 years. 12 years!!!!

That's not to agree to an idea... that is to have already taken significant steps to curb carbon emissions.

That means mobilization

And the scale that is required... exceeds that of the great war.

Think about it... but not too long. We had 12 years. That was 5 years ago.
