Licenses for children. Everywhere.You should be asking the question of how we solve this problem:

In the meantime, the high emitters should stop breeding. Or not emit...but good luck with that!
Again, the biggest emissions reduction technique a high emissions country individual can do is not breed. Population of affluent people is the current concern…not just population. Not sure how else to put this.
Let COVID run wild …ohhh wait that won’t work either with the low death rate.I’ll ask again, how do you stop population growth?

Let ebola run wild!Let COVID run wild …ohhh wait that won’t work either with the low death rate.
The next one will have that covered. Ebola like symptoms, with covid transmissibility.Let ebola run wild!

How about renewable energy, lower consumption, less intesive agriculture. Technology that exists. Nuclear fusion etc. are pipedreams for Business as Usual that will just never work, like CCS:salvage it through technologies such as nuclear fusion, smarter, more efficient means of agriculture and geo-engineering.
The Climate Council said:"The world's largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility, Chevron's Gorgon gas plant in Western Australia, has failed on its five year promise to capture and store 80% of its emissions. The exact figures are yet to be released, but the failure equates to millions of tonnes of CO2, which, if held to account by the WA Government, is equivalent to a carbon credit bill of $100 million.
“Over the past decade, the costs of renewable energy like wind and solar have plummeted," says Climate Council’s Senior Researcher, Tim Baxter. "Over the same period, CCS has remained extremely expensive. There are still no projects operating anywhere in the world that have delivered CCS on time, on budget, or in the quantities promised."
The issue is the migration flows from 'less well off' peopel towards countries that are more 'affluent' (in your words). Australia is a good example, population growth technically negative if not for the mass immigration prior to covid. The kicker is that we are one of the highest per capita emitters. Not an easy problem to solve.Again, the biggest emissions reduction technique a high emissions country individual can do is not breed.

What about the other worlds?Better education, better women's rights and better healthcare - for the third world.
Also, mountain bikes - why the fuck do we have 1000 brands of the same shit, all made from plastic which are then discarded?
Education and family planning services in developing countries is some of the best bang for buck emissions mitigation around.Better education, better women's rights and better healthcare - for the third world.
If we can strive to improve these countries without invading or taking advantage of them, the population would be far more sustainable.
Also, products like shampoo, conditioner, hand sanitiser etc should be dispensed into refillable bottles - why the fuck do we have 10 brands of the same shit, all packaged in plastic which are then discarded?
I actually thought of this a while ago, if they made like 2 piece plastic bottles, you could unscrew the large diameter of the bottle and make it easy to clean out for multiple use, but it still doesn't solve the water bottle problem, as plastic gets old it breaks down into micro-plastic and that's not too good for you.Also, products like shampoo, conditioner, hand sanitiser etc should be dispensed into refillable bottles - why the fuck do we have 10 brands of the same shit, all packaged in plastic which are then discarded?
Water bottles should be like single use plastic bags. If you forgot to bring your metal/insulated one, then buy a new one.I actually thought of this a while ago, if they made like 2 piece plastic bottles, you could unscrew the large diameter of the bottle and make it easy to clean out for multiple use, but it still doesn't solve the water bottle problem, as plastic gets old it breaks down into micro-plastic and that's not too good for you.
You can reuse water bottles, there's something like a 2 year life expectancy before they start breaking down, but you got to keep them out of the sunlight. The amount of plastic water bottles I see thrown out on the road around here is fairly bad.Water bottles should be like single use plastic bags.

That's why I said metal ones.You can reuse water bottles, there's something like a 2 year life expectancy before they start breaking down, but you got to keep them out of the sunlight. The amount of plastic water bottles I see thrown out on the road around here is fairly bad.
Theyre stopgap technologies and worthy of investment in the short term but far too inefficient for the long-term future of humanity.How about renewable energy, lower consumption, less intesive agriculture. Technology that exists. Nuclear fusion etc. are pipedreams for Business as Usual that will just never work, like CCS:
I agree, avoid single use if possible but whats I'm tryinn to tells ya is, there's no need for people to throw them out for the heck of throwing them out, reuse plastic bottles or repurpose if you can, just don't do it long term if you're drinking out of them. I picked up a plastic water bottle off the side of the road the other day and cut the top off and used it as my paint tin, cleaned it out and still have it now for another day .That's why I said metal ones.
