Explosives to remove mountain tops for coal, hydraulic fracturing to extract underground natural gas, and offshore drilling for oil and tar sands are the most destructive forms of fossil fuel production. China is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, but new energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy seem to be developing faster. Because fossil energy has touched the interests of some people, the United States has strengthened its propaganda through parliament's rejection of the climate proposal and manipulated scientific institutions. The climate has not warmed in the past two decades. In order not to use these energy sources for 100 years, it is for the world The temperature dropped by 0. 01℃? There are still 300 million people in India who do not have access to electricity. Compared with global warming, their carbon emissions are the third in the world. However, the equally serious problem is that everyone’s basic energy needs cannot be met. The seasonal rainfall is half of the annual rainfall here, and the crops are completely submerged. The president of a Pacific island nation that risks submerging the entire country has bought a piece of land in Fiji to allow his own nationals to emigrate with dignity. There is an interesting paradox. Island nations with small populations do the least damage to nature, but are the biggest victims of global warming. The most developed countries require developing countries to reduce carbon emissions, but they, as the country with the largest carbon emissions, never mention it. Coral reefs act as the main force for absorbing carbon dioxide, and the carbon absorbed by rainforests is stored in tree trunks, branches and leaves, and once felled, it returns to the atmosphere. There are also poultry that produce methane, and cattle are the largest source of emissions. Changing our eating habits may be more effective. Tesla's Gigafactory, 100 is enough for the world's energy supply, but requires a larger company than Tesla Working together Carbon Tax: A tax on any activity that emits carbon Our basic idea is a tax on bad behavior that negatively affects other people in society I find it very hard to try to hold people accountable to society (do it yourself Will it have an impact on society, don’t think too much before doing things), because people live complex lives, they have a lot of things to worry about, and they don’t want to think about climate change every time they make a decision, they can’t. What a carbon tax does is steer everyone in the right direction. Moreover, we try not to increase taxes, but to transfer them, which can reduce the number of relevant taxation places accordingly. The premise is that everyone implements the carbon tax. This is a tax transfer, not an increase in revenue. Even if the president is the leader of public opinion, he is more willing to do what the people want him to do, convince the American people, and thus convince the president, then the Congress, and finally the passage of the bill. The consensus reached at the climate summit to reduce carbon emissions was said by the Secretary of State. Consensus is a good thing, but the negative effects that come with the gathering of consensus are also terrible. Extremism, if the consensus makes the poor have nowhere to live and cannot make a living, then As if the rich told the poor that you should work as hard as I did and have your dreams to make things happen, what he meant was that instead of promoting consensus, it is better to stop or delay consensus so that the terrible negative impact will not affect your current position, and this It is also a generational inaction. Bottom-up action, the president declared Sweden to be the first country in the world to be free of fossil fuels and Obama could not give concrete commitments, like the Paris climate summit agreement, There is no carbon tax, no punitive measures, and Congress will not agree to reduce carbon emissions by 26-28%. It can only give a long-term goal. In 20 years, one footprint a year, and the gradual implementation of new energy will make a big pie. . Moreover, it is believed that the sea level rise caused by global warming and the relocation of the population will also intensify the competition between people and land, reduce resources, and compete for national security issues. Otherwise we and the creatures that live with us will be history.
