The thinking-too-hard insomnia thing. I went down to visit XR this evening: they're spread thin, not many people. Rain is not their friend, and this week is wet. I stood and thought "this is our response to climate change?" and then thought about the burning refineries in Saudi.

People have known this approach could work for decades. Most of the fighting at the UN level has been about avoiding this solution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_emission_trading … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_carbon_trading … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_credit … note the total lack of discussion of this argument in Wikipedia. It's zeroed

Look how far the academic rabbit hole we have to get before we start to see some real discussions of the issues https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/misp.12049 … the amount of burying which has happened over this perfectly reasonable and easy to explain stance is *staggering*. It has no homepage. *Gone*

It's not coincidence that the entire climate debate is framed as "government must do something" without getting into the fundamental issues involved in "doing something." When you actually start talking about things that one might do, people freak out, panic, and vote for Trump.

"Doing something" from reasoned first principles: http://www.ecocivilization.info/three-tons-carbon-dioxide-per-person-per-year.html … 3 tons per person per year goal state, but realistically poor people use far less, and auction their consumption credits to the rich. That's pretty much how you fix this: the atmosphere is a limited commons

So underneath all of the bullshit, remember this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradable_Energy_Quotas … it's not very complicated, unless you've got a massive vested interest in keeping it complicated, WHICH LITERALLY EVERYBODY HAS. That's why the climate thing appears complicated: contradicts existing lies.

But, actually, when you get right down to it, this is simple. The atmosphere is a global commons. All humans have an equal right to the air. The poor sell their excess capacity to the rich, at a price the poor choose freely. If you want less carbon emitted, allocate less per head

Everybody that is trying to complicate this is lying to you: they want this to seem huge and impenetrable and impossible. It's not impossible: if you're willing to treat human beings like human beings, climate is as easy as anything else is, when you start from that foundation.

Just in case this goes viral (har, har) https://medium.com/humanizing-the-singularity/how-we-can-tackle-climate-change-by-reengineering-consumption-245d2b09ff35 … here's some reasoning about how we can start to cut consumption at a practical, technical, engineering level while also increasing quality of life pretty dramatically for most first world consumers. A rare deal! Read

I think you'd build most of it into VISA and MasterCard. They've got the processing power and the knowledge about what is being bought and sold.
