Couldn't disagree more.

Please spend it on those who might actually fix something. There's plenty of can remove carbon or can undo the effect of X on Y. Let's stop falling back on the bad argument of we must leave nature alone right after arguing we change billion dollar industries because we can.

We shouldn't learn to be custodians watching the planet die because of past mistakes, we should be fixing and improving the planet and improving on nature because we can, must and should, shoulder this reaponsibility.

Please not _yet more modelling_ burning HPC into the ground just for a crappy bar line graph (based on assumptions)...

Actually my "Absolutely" referred to the first phrase, not the second one (my bad!)

How do you do this without a process of finding out what works and what doesn't? Isn't that science? Or am I misunderstanding you saying no more modeling to mean we already know everything we might need to know in order to shoulder this planet scale responsibility and just collectively aren't doing anything except making bar charts?

What does your proposal actually look like without science or climate modeling?
