I have some serious threads and other threads where you have to guess whether or not I'm being serious. I don't just go into character for an entire month and then re-submerge back to my normal self.

That's what I did for, like, six months, so I wouldn't know.

This is one of the few instances where I support heavy regulation.

I support increased R&D in medicine and technology, subsidising the development of vertical urban farms and slapping a universal carbon tax on shit.

I'll put my faith in our ability to adapt different the most part.

Immediate investment in viable alternate energy sources, particularly in nuclear.

I think it's quite belittling to debate over whether or not it's happening since there is already a scientific consensus on the matter that it is, so it might be best to not bother posting here if you still deny global warming/anthropologenic global warming.

As long as people keep voting for dumbass representatives who claim it's not a problem or it's some liberal crusade, nothing will happen.

It's already too late to do anything about. Now we have to learn how to live with it.

But a carbon tax is much easier said than done.

Put ballasts under every continent.

Subsidies to green energy and research for alternative energy, tax breaks for citizens who copulate at or below the replacement rate (to encourage slowing the growth of the population,) annual serious review and revision of energy policy and its effectiveness, support for education about climate change and alternative energy

I dont think we can do much about it as long as oil companies are a thing.

I'm not a very protesty person, but I'd picket against that.

Economists are pretty much united on this issue.

If you want to reduce an externality - fucking tax it.
