Id like lemmings take on how they would actually reduce emissions on a level that actually makes a difference (assuming we can still stop it, which is likely false by now, but let’s ignore that)

I dont think its as simple as “tax billionaires out of existence and ban jets, airplanes, and cars” because thats not realistic.

Bonus points if you can think of any solutions that dont disrupt the 99%'s way of life.

I know yall will have fun with this!

    • heavily tariff companies that attempt to move their companies or operations overseas
    • nationalize the biggest environmental offenders
    • any company that resists is investigated and charged with crimes against humanity and their company is nationalized
    • once tried, executives are imprisoned or executed to set an example
    • tax the wealthy with an 80% flat tax, use the income to subsidize impacted industry/workers while also investing in green or net-zero environmental companies

    edit: just to add, this would be the less aggressive solution I would want to see. the more aggressive solution would have blood running in the streets of every executive of a fortune 500 company that has negligently damaged the environment and harmed workers rights/safety.

    the economic turmoil would be harsh and would take decades to crawl out of, but we could do it. nobody crawls when we’re dead on a dying planet.
