            I agree. Still it is a set with way fewer elements than action against climate change. Also, the nature of operations in the latter case is way more diversified than in the development of the former.

            It is only my opinion though, you may find Generative AI a hydra compared to the other.

            By the way, the money would be well spent indeed but not even close to enough for a sustainable change.

              idk about that last part actually. some of the stuff we can do for the climate we just aren’t doing.

              also we could just hire a few hitmen

      Buying companies that create a lot of pollution and closing them down. (Coal mines/plants, oil firms, single use plastic suppliers, etc)

      Another big one would be buying up pharma companies an their patents and releasing everything under creative commons license.

      It is a singular endeavor with tons of moving parts, like pretty much every modern endeavor.

        My problem with counting all climate change is that the goal itself is not unique: there are atmospheric greenhouse gasses to lower, which are something completely different than the acidification of the oceans, which are completely different from deforestation.

        And the effects themselves are, it’s true, all originated from an imbalance in a system, but exactly because climate is a complex system, they differ wildly.
