[Starlink] geo-engineering...

[Hayden Simon]

How do you apply a statement like that to the middle east? 20million people in Cairo / Giza; 110million (I think?) total in Egypt. Fuel is NZ$0.50c/litre; cars freaking everywhere running all day long. Average salaries are very low. How would they afford the transition away from fossil fuels?  You could extend that same question to any developing economy.

We're never going to be able to make a useful dent in emissions until we address the developing world.

Switching to nuclear energy could be an option. We can all learn from France's experience. I agree that We should stop pumping CO2 in the atmosphere. ICE cars should be phased out more aggressively.
Governments should give tax breaks to companies with work from home policies ?

Plankton in the ocean accounts for roughly 1/2 of the oxygen we breathe. My point is: this is a hard problem. The solution won't be simple.
