So, when you adults STOP your own love of money, and so STOP being greedy and selfish as well, then, and only then, you will prevent the climate from changing the way it is, in the days when this is being written. This is, really, the only True way of solving 'climate change'.
Motivation is the beginning of doing something positive about man made climate change. It is therefore exceedingly important to get a major narrative and charismatic tellers of the narrative on the side of any technology that is to be acceptable.
Part of that narrative would be that money grabbing and other manifestations of fear and mutual distrust are evils.
The political regimes that are in the conversation vary so that some regimes rely on traditional narratives while others find novel ones such as the mythologising of Greta Thunberg.
Sadly Belinda,
I rather suspect they'll take the stick over the carrot, because the stick won't be applied their backs. It will be applied to yours and mine. Tax this, stop that, pay more, have less - on energy, food, clothing, heating, will harm most those who spend the greater proportion of their income on these things. It won't effect the rich because these things are inconsequential expenses to them, even at thrice the price! Taxing the poor out of the market for both heating and eating to reduce demand to save the world, can only be held in place by authoritarianism, and then, you really will have cemented their power. The green left narrative is not a catalyst that will force the powers that be to harness magma energy; its the false narrative they've constructed to get you to cut your own throat. Like the Communist Manifesto - cast off your chains (and work for nothing).
An absolute miniscule cost to produce a just about never ending and completely pollution free source of energy, which could support a population far greater than the one that currently exists when this is being written, WILL come in to existence.
However, before this will be devised and created first things first. What creates and causes human made climate change needs to stopped first.
After all prevention is, obviously, better than the cure.
What causes human made climate change is greedy and selfish human beings love of money.
Why do adult human beings have a 'love of money'?
Because of the way they were brought up.
So, when adult human beings STOP being greedy and selfish, through their 'love of money', then they will STOP teaching their children to 'love money' and 'be greedy', which, in turn, will help prevent human made climate change.
When things are dreamed up, devised, planned, constructed, and created for the betterment of ALL of humankind, instead of for a monetary and profit seeking reason, then, and ONLY THEN, will the newly devised pollution free and much less resource reliant energy source be finalized and come to fruition.
