The post you are replying to is a joke, it makes no statement as to my own person opinion on any of these topics. The point is that the world elite all care about these things, so these things are great "bait" to lure them into a ship where we can ship them off to space and be rid of them.

My personal opinion is that free markets and distributed solutions are the first tool to reach for when you have a problem. But they don't work for everything, and climate change is one of those problems that cannot be solved bottom up... which is really tragic because nothing seems to be solvable top down without yielding too much power and that power will be used for lots of other shit it shouldn't be used for. So yes climate change is real and a serious concern and has to be solved and it cannot be solved bottom up. And whatever top-down solutions come at us are virtually guaranteed to have massive negative side effects designed to enrich the elite, ... and many will cheat if they can, including nations, which means "we can't work together to save our lives". and well... life sucks but there it is. It might not even be worth trying given the game theory. I don't know. We seem to have solved the CFC ozone hole issue collectively so I think it's possible, so I'm still in favor of government action... I just fear the nutty people making the decisions.
