IPCC’s starkest message yet: extreme steps needed to avert climate disaster
How many GW of coal plants are being built brand new in Asia right now? It&#x27;s very high. These will operate for decades.<p>What are we to do? Tell them to stop? Tried that unsuccessfully. I would ignore us if I were them. USA and Europe still emits tons of CO2. Has been emitting worse then them for many many decades. This carbon emitting elevated much of the wealth of the country. We are basically telling them to not become wealthy like us. They wonder why we haven&#x27;t done much to reduce emissions.<p>We were too late, it&#x27;s happening now. What do we need to do. Ignore carbon taxes that do nothing.<p>Instead, build renewables, build batteries, build solar panels. The remaining amount of fossil fuels is a hard limit. Staying on them is idiotic to say the least.<p>It&#x27;s not just transportation and centralized energy production. Plastics, lubricants, wax, sulphur, ashphalt are other products of oil. What are the non-petroleum options?<p>We also need non-carbon emitting things like concrete.<p>Why do we just go to it? No regulations, no taxes, maybe even funding for any corporations who work on doing these things?<p>Wait nobody is doing this? The government is restricting and slowing this effort?<p>Actions speak louder than words, why are the world&#x27;s nations saying they&#x27;ll do something while their actions say they have no intention to do anything?<p>Is there an unspoken denial of climate change by the world?
