what is your best steelman of their argument for why it’s important to cut emissions?

the best argument is that this policy destroys any growth and destroys any capacity for innovation in the economy. a path to a better world is not possible this way. and besides, I doubt any relevant influence of man-made CO2 on the climate. 99% of climate change comes from solar activity.

The problem is that independent scientists have so far been largely suppressed by the media in their presentation of opinions, but this is slowly changing.

We create too much CO2, we are 7 billion people! With cars, industries, burning things and tons of other bad recent habits. We emit lot of carbon dioxide. CO2 is bad because of the solar activity. So we really accelerate things like never before. Fact. Bad policy can destroy economy, yes. But it can also be the key to destroy polluting business or at least make them change for good. Adequate climate policies can really create big opportunities (Renewable cheap energy, more jobs, more happiness and sustainable future). Imagine having free solar energy on your roof. Charging your Tesla with your free energy.. and being waaay more Nature friendly than any other fossil fuel house/car.

I see a lot of good people/businesses creating new innovative solutions and being ignored just because big heads want to keep business as usual and keep selling oil/coal/gaz without environment taxes. Although I start to see change in people minds right now 👍🏼🔥📚 I was in London and there is electric cars everywhere! Amazing

We can never create enough CO2.

Climate change is socialist propaganda.

The goal of climate change propaganda is to make everyone poor except for Davos attendees.

Congratulations! it's nice to be able to live in such a green neighborhood bubble. it sounds a bit surprising, but this planet runs on oil and gas and other fossil fuels. and that won't change as long as we live and as long as our children live! being mature means recognizing realities and not forcing dream bubbles on other people
