RE: Attend SteemFest²?
why don't we start with private jets like Al Gore uses where the benefit/gas has a much lower ratio than say a commercial jet carrying hundreds of passengers to their destination ? - let's not be so quick to use the law to suppress people or restrict our right to travel. These 'world wide laws' you speak of not only reek of elitist new world order agendas, but will have no bearing on the rich and the elites who are the biggest abusers of of this planet to begin with. Such laws are always pointed at the proletariat class and not those who sit in their ivory towers...the urgency to strap humanity with more global laws and restrictions is greedy , dumb, and short sighted protocol....
Disagree. I haven't traveled as a person with very limited income because I take the issue of pollution seriously. So accusing me of being an elitist is about as fuckin' dumb as it gets! Got it, buddy?
I agree that the elites are the ones causing most of the problems because they control policy. In the greatest ironic reversal in human history, we have been taught that only lone recyclers can make a difference while the elites, who control policy, are given a free pass as you correctly point out ( at least you got one thing right).
As far as laws being implemented: we wouldn't need to implement them if people took pollution seriously and started staying at home or not traveling unless they find ways to do so that do not pollute.
Which was the point of my post to the author.
Such laws, that I propose, would be binding on ALL people for about 40 years to buy us and our technology time to solve these very complex and intractable problems.
But I'm no delusionist like yourself. We will suffer the full fury of our ignorance and arrogance over the coming century. We are already paying the price now but the elites will never change their disastrous trajectory.
IMO, the smartest people on the planet right now are The Preppers......
