Bill, why do you continue to ignore the elephant in the room?

Bill, why do you continue to ignore the elephant in the room?

“Moral Hazard” argument is moot as I explained just now to my friend from 1Sky days:
<<Hi, Tama. We must develop strategic global plans for date certain shutting down refineries and legislate enforcement. This is fundamental. But winding down can’t be done quickly enough, nor can carbon removal, so to avoid tipping points, suffering, death, damage, economic collapse and societal chaos, intervention like lifesaving CPR and tourniquets are required. Read Hansens paper and the TIME article. Nobody said choosing EITHER OR … we must do all three legs of the stool>>
There are over FIVE DOZEN measures to test and verify that can plausible cool the Arctic to restore lost albedo and avert Arctic tipping points as well as oceanic and terra firma cooing, e.g., MEER.
We need thought leaders (you!) to advocate in order to shift away from the “conventional wisdom” suicidal trajectory we are on.
Here’s the best unexpected news of the day that will expand our thinking outside the box, so to speak:
I’ll simply repost my Facebook share:
Who would have thought that conserving seaweed forests could be so important … our heating the oceans with our carbon emissions is impeding the natural sequestration of excess carbon in the atmosphere. Planting trees pales compared to restoring lowly kelp. Best news of the day.

The concluding paragraphs:
<<When we lose seaweed forests, we lose their natural ability to transfer carbon to the deep ocean. But their loss also threatens the other species who rely on them, and the half a trillion dollars of value they provide to us.
<<We should think of conserving seaweed forests in the same way we do forests on land. Scaling up restoration where forests have been lost is vital to ensure these unsung plants can keep supporting us – and help store carbon.>>
