    You are missing the point, because we need to do that anyway.
    The idea is to prevent things from getting worse in the meantime.
    Replacing fossil fuels take time no matter how much we invest.

      ok but you just know corporations are going to use this as an excuse to keep using fossil fuels. like to them this is basically carte blanche to keep the status quo and block green energy from happening even harder. “oh hurdur har har we found a solution to climate change and it’s dumping diamonds in the atmosphere, no need to pay for green energy anymore haha” type shit

        corporations are going to use this as an excuse to keep using fossil fuels.

        Corporations follow the law, the only way to solove this is to have the laws required.

            Oh please, of course they don’t always, but the ones that don’t are generally forced to by oversight.
            Yes I kn ow they generally get off easy, but then oversight is increased and if it continues, the penalties increase, until ultimately it will be forced to shut down if illegal activities continue.
            So yes generally cooperations do follow the law.
