Climate Change being real, and being anthropogenic, doesn't mean that we should eradicate our economy by hiking our energy costs, submitting to CCP imperialism by making them the sole source of our energy infrastructure, and killing 50% of the planet's population by ceasing the use of fossil fuels. Don't even get me started on farmers being attacked for putting excess nitrogen in the water supply while cities are over-flowing the water supply with micro-plastics, fentanyl, and estrogen.
Take care of your shit and don't pollute, then all of the sudden you'll have a better environment.
Vance is aware of the damage that pollution can do from the East Palestine disaster, but that doesn't mean that the solution is Full Communism Now.
There's research showing that increasing CO2 ppm higher than 300-400 ppm range (some disagreement) doesn't increase heat retaining at all; atmosphere is already saturated for CO2 retaining heat.
If that's right there's two solutions: either destroy the world economy including overthrowing China CCP causing massive hardship and suffering worldwide, or geoengineering.
Yeah I'm gonna say geoengineering. Or do nothing and wait for technology to solve it for us.
I don't think any of that is a reasonable solution.
I think the reasonable solution is just living in a more adapted way to our current environment, and accepting that some cities shouldn't be sustained. You know, like what every other civilization has ever done.
The problem with doing nothing are Rumsfeld's "unknown unknowns".
Like if the north atlantic conveyor shuts down and/or methane calthrates are released then we're boned. These may happen quickly and irreversibly, we don't know.
We can't quantify the risk for doing nothing so we should probably avoid it if there are low-risk alternatives.

I have seen zero evidence that the Atlantic conveyor belts will shut down. I think that is a far-flung risk.
