We can't get people to do things short term to help themselves, like working two jobs and saving money and reusing and repurposing and taking care of what they have. It is the beautiful young and idealistic who will argue with the old and sage. There are things that are right, but not feasible. You cannot change certain elements in certain people. In this case a LOT of people.
It will again be a huge argument that will further polarize people instead of motivating them to do what they can do to improve the air and water. Too many people do NOT care about anything but their own instant gratification. They do not plan or try to save the country's money. They don't realize that is the same principle. Waste not, want not. Necessity is the mother of hard work and the work ethic.
I know these things only because I am old.
Fortunately the arguing is age tatted by only a few. I am sorry to the folks that could have had meaningfull discussion about what cause s global warming, but you can read. That I tried ti get it back on track three times only to be attacked again. See ya on the next START of a thread.

You are not being "attacked" but simply questioned about the accuracy of what you propose as a societal solution. That's what a discussion is supposed to be about.
And I am curious about a point you raise ... are you personally willing to give up your car? Just asking since you brought it up.
