I’m sorry, but trying to save the planet via a charity while taking a vig to get rich at the same time isn’t going to work. The scale of the problem is just too large, and the number of individuals at the retail end of the carbon economy with the desire and disposable income to not only undo their own emissions is tiny.

No vig

The tough part about a problem of massive scale is no solution is good enough. So you sit around debating a global carbon tax for decades while attacking any other effort that is an incremental approach?

If you want to sell good feelings, I guess that’s fine, but never convince yourself that you’re making an impact.

Approval accepted and I will stay away from the kool-aid.
