@11112011 this is really awkward cos I don't even know who kudlow is... played Phoebe in friends right?

she was always a hippie, we should have seen this coming years ago

@11112011 had a very brief flick through his comments. the guy has a point in the sense that the policy response, where it isn't window dressing, will likely be authoritarian and/or unbalance and already teetering economy, even with the best will in the world.

rock and a hard place though... something in our cultural DNA the last 4 decades seems incapable of generating competent institutions outside of STEM fields.

I've always dug the carbon capture deal as a short term solution while the culture changes. We're not gonna stop China and developing countries from building dirty industry, nor should we imo, so developing a hands off way of tackling the primary physical cause seems a pretty robust way of doing that.

we need to steer, sure, but without brakes we're hitting that tree burgers or no.

let me know if you want any more mixed metaphors I've got at least 7

@11112011 bro, stop, you're becoming one of them
