The only way it will is if a power source is discovered that will allow our military to gain a quantum leap in force projection that just happens to be a clean source of renewable energy. Then billions will be channeled into the science so we can stay at the forefront.

I know.
And developed nations wonât sacrifice their way of life either.
The funny thing is we actually have carbon capture technology and carbon reclamation technology.
But a lot of carbon to reclaimâŚ

Donât get me wrong. Iâm all for finding better/cleaner ways to do things for the sake of being good stewards of out natural landscapes. That will happen over time because people care about pollution, even on the right.
Iâm just not willing to be the only kid (nation) on the block that wants to hold my breath until I pass out just to cut Co2 output. Co2 isnât like other pollutants, itâs debatable if itâs a pollutant at all.
Personally I think trying to up our food production so that 3rd world countries arenât clear cutting their forests for farmland, even if it means our own co2 output goes up, will do a lot more for the environment than cutting our own throats as some token gesture to âthe planetâ while other nations just watch.

Ohh there is tons we can do! The left just doesnât want to piss off the people who own them.

My solution, carbon capture on an industrial scale at whatever price needs to be paid to fix it. Simple. Instead of Branson burning a million carbo tons to try not to puke in space. What a waste of carbon that was.

So what action against China do you propose?

Nothing to worry about.
If there is nothing you can do to stop it, there is no purpose in worrying about it. If you want to survive, adapt.

Should have let them burn for the last hundred years. Then it would not be such a problem now.

What nonsense. Nobody is blaming Canada. They do not manage forests in the US.

Well, considering we have no technology that will stop said meteor hurtling toward earth. Iâd start making peace with my God . . . because well, no way of stopping it. Maybe in a few hundred years we will be able to . . . . So we need people like Musk, Bezons, and Sir Richard to keep coming up with space tech.
Honestly Im in the same boat that there is nothing to stop global warming - or if a meteor was hurtling towards us. But I do believe we should be coming together to develop strategies for some mitigation and definitely a lot of adaptation. Sadly, the ship has sailed for a massive global effort to reduce carbon emissions. I thank denialists for that.
Denialists? By that do you mean China and India?

Shouldnât we be building towns, cities and industries further inland and moving our populations there in preparation for rising sea levels? Shouldnât coastal land prices be plummeting if the land is due to go underwater? Shouldnât global warming believers be divesting themselves of coastal holdings and moving inland? Well, if those invoking panic truly believed it, we would. But no such trends are discernible.

One could even say that Branson is a waste of carbon.

Plant more trees.
Do the math âŚ
With population growth trees need to come down to build housing and open up more farm land.
