The quote is the very last paragraph. The media is so annoying. I often don’t read articles from start to finish anymore. I scan them to find the bit that finally gets to the fucking point.

It’s a full-spectrum effort, there isn’t a single silver bullet. You are objecting to one of the smallest changes that needs to happen.
Which big changes do you have in mind?
Read Half Earth Socialism. Or if the S word scares you off read The Ministry for the Future. It’s a hard sci-fi novel so it’s entertaining. It illustrates at least the lower bound of effort that will be required in the coming decades.
Oh boy… you called taxation “some rube goldberg shit” but recommend a book that presents a global carbon reward system as something we need. The cognitive dissonance is mind boggling.
I don’t actually think policies from The Ministry for the Future are prescriptions for getting us out of this, that’s why I recommended Half Earth Socialism. It does however instill an appropriate sense of urgency and scale in its narrative.
