I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.

A lot of financial professionals especially the one I work with Samuel Peter Descovich agree that one should not spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent. That means you need to make a minimum of about $80,000. Interesting considering the median income is $54,000.

'trajectory of climate change is now heading for 3c.' That's a very interesting philosophical statement. To what 'climate change', specifically, are you referring? Firstly, climates across the world are many and varied, and secondly, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO, but prior to 1950, the IMO), has never officially acknowledged a change of climate anywhere in the world. Climates are a function of: Latitude, Elevation, Proximity to large bodies of water, Ocean Currents, Topographical Features, Vegetation, and Prevailing and Seasonal Winds. Please explain how the combustion of fossil (hydrocarbon) fuels overrides all of the aforementioned. Finally, in the vicinity of the 10 busiest airports in the world by aircarft movements, the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels by air, and the associated road traffic, has not resulted in any change of climate. The same can be said if the 50 most populated cities in world, with their associated significant air and road traffic (copious quantities of hydrocarbon being combusted), hasn't brought forth any change of climate in those locations either. In conclusion, TELL ME WHERE the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels results in the "dreaded climate change"??

I agree that it is a 'cop out' for those who say that usage of coal, oil and gas is demand driven. But it is an understandable position, when viewed though the lens of global politics. The country that becomes the 'first mover' in reducing supply of coal, oil and gas will ultimately be trashing their own economy and other nations would simply pick up the slack and become richer at the same time. This is not a 'short term' proposition, it's a 'medium to long term' problem.

A technical argument for nuclear might have stood up to scrutiny 20 or 30 years ago (or might not). But at this point in time, solar and wind and battery storage would take less than half the time and cost a small fraction of the price to achieve the same energy generation. Wind and especially solar also have the advantage of decentralization - or at least the technical feasibility of it. This is a huge difference that is almost as important as the huge cost difference. In any event, time is of the essence. Solar, wind and battery storage must be built out as quickly as we - the population of the earth - can possibly build it.

This reduces investment in renewables and EV's, thereby killing off the competition. Then apply the 'choke' so that prices and profits go through the roof. Even better if you can blame it on someone, like Putin's invasion of Ukraine, when in reality most of the 'cost of living crisis' was made up of 'greedflation' and profiteering. The oil industry has been applying 'Glut and Choke' for decades if not centuries, witness the 'Robber Barons' in the USA. The are laughing at us for being suckered time and time again.

I find that the only way I'm forced to make a change is that it hits my pocket book. I will find more efficient ways if the cost of my current life style gets too expensive. I drive a hybrid car and my house is cheap to heat but in order to move beyond that I have to be able to justify any new technology by cost savings and if fossil fuels got too expensive then I would make a change. I understand that climate change is taking place but most of us don't think that it's my responsibility and we continue on the same path until we are forced to do something about it. Politicians come and go and when one makes a change for good the next guy cancels the plan and we are back to where we started from.

I recommend occasionally just making a small move in the "right direction" even if there is no cost benefit to yourself. We can't wait for someone else to make the first move. People who can afford an expensive EV for example should go ahead and buy one. Those vehicles will become cheaper second hand options for others in 4 or 5 years time. Nobody said the transition phase would be easy.

If we step by step by step...we can turn economies into high insulation everywhere, large scale renewables in all regions, all substations expanded with grid batteries, roof top solar PV across housjng stocks, electric heated thermal mass floors, back and front yard gardens...throughout our cities. We can install all of these rapidly. This year, we renovated this mobile home with an insulated skirting. With 4x4 framing, bubble foil, 2 layers of OSB sheets, roofing membrane, free roofing steel, 4" deep and backfilled, thin film plastic on our single pane windows inside. So now we are super cozy and warm with 2 electric heaters and sometime the electric stove living right next to an Albertan wind farm.

Green energy is well behind and needs a total rework of energy grid to be used. It isnt even reliable. Fossil fuels are bad so we only left 2 thing left fussion energy and nuclear energy. First one still isnt near anywhere viable and second one costs way too much money and time to built. I think we stuck we either need to transition to small molten salt reactors or fast sodium reactors ,find viable fusion energy or find a way to properly use and distribute green energy because with our limited tech today transition in a few years almost impossible. Maybe ai can fasten the researches once we reach agi but again we do not have it either and it also gonna increase energy need.

Those regulations are unfortunately ones recommended to the policy makers by the think tanks of the O&G industry, and are eagerly adopted since they (petrofascists) also “feather the nest” of the politicians who vote for the policies. The rapacious greed of the gas industry has never ceased, despite the recognition *by their own scientists over half a century ago* that this outcome was unavoidable if we continued to consume fossil fuels. And this refusal to curb their drive for profit has led to humans consuming far beyond the carrying capacity of the planet, on almost all levels. That rapacious greed has also led to them stifling innovation into any kind of alternative energy source, including making it impractical or expensive to utilize renewables at an individual household level via regulations. As much as I’m also pro-nuclear, that industry is also composed almost entirely of behemoth corporations who would rather have NPPs everywhere and also push restrictive policies like ridiculous feed in tariffs and other disincentives to renewable power sources.

If by chance that minuscule amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere doesn’t make a difference, it won’t change the politician’s trajectory. At this point they must have absolute compliance. It’s no wonder all the agencies that support them in this endeavor are paid by them. The IPCC, NOAA, NASA, IEA, etc, all get their paychecks from the politicians. they are in perfect lockstep.
