@Schouten_B @breadandcircuses Agreed. ANd we need an environmental equivalent of the Marshall Plan (DO I hear supprot for a #GreenMarshallPlan supporting developing countries to improve quality of life without massive GHG increases?
We could have interrupted deployment of coal plants (and all the non-GHG impacts) if it wasn't for the outsize political influence of the Fossil Carbon industries. (We enabled Chinas devastating Belt and ROad initiative (https://www.cfr.org/blog/climate-challenge-and-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative) because the US, Canada, EU, Japan did not want to support infrastructure development - the "market" would do that if it was worthwhile.)
