Sure, I like the idea of space megaprojects. I doubt sunsails in orbit would be profitable though. How would you monetise it? Put massive ads on them? Charge everyone a subscription fee?

Well, a fee could theoretically be possible. Farmers with plants that need shadow could pay for shielding. In the end the end consumer pays the price.

Now, governments could probably do something like that, and I wouldn’t be against it if safety and unintended consequences were taken into account somehow.

👍

Also, I thought you believed space exploration tech was useless.

Let me rephrase it: it’s boring. Nada used old ass Russian rockets for years. So there is not much innovation there anyway.

I agree there are many solutions. I don’t think markets and capital are going to make them happen.

I think that depends on demand. Some airlines already offer climate compensation packages. An additional payment to compensate your emissions. Such money could also be invested into sun shield projects.

We can probably buy time with tech solutions. Long-term solutions will have to involve major fundamental sociopolitical change.

I agree on the tech solutions. Let’s see them being implemented before chopping on the foundation of our economics.

The rich would just leave the country and some other country would profit from their taxes.

This is an oft-repeated talking point but usually contradicted by data. Sounds smart but isn’t smart.

Yes and No. it leads depends on the country and where it is still tolerable and where it is not. In Germany and France we already see people leave. link to a german article. you will need a translator.

Rich people are people and most people don’t just up and leave behind places they’ve built their lives in unless under extreme pressure. A few billionaires might relocate to the Bahamas but they’re not going to be able to take their mansions and penthouses with them - and they lose out on the markets, infrastructure, and other benefits of their home countries. That’s a major incentive to just pay the taxes.

As I said, it depends on the country and the relative situation to other countries.

If you believe to know which ones are overvalued, then you should try to go buy short positions in them. Maybe you become rich then?

Who says I haven’t done that already?

I do. Because you are still here. Arguing on the internet, a cesspool of morons, you and I included.

The stock market is relatively precise, it also projects potential into the future.

The stock market is not precise. I have data and papers discussing this - but there’s no need for them. I’ll instead leave you with a simple question: if the stock market is so precise, why is there a major crash every decade?

Because events, such as Corona and the ausraube war temporarily lower the estimated gains. Losses are expected. So the value weds to be corrected according to those losses.

Due to that many stocks to combat climate change have risen in popularity and a lot of money has been brought to said companies by purely capitalistic driven motives.

Sure, purely capitalistic motives, which is why a lot of these are impractical venture capital BS and outright scams. It is currently more profitable to greenwash than it is to actually solve the problem.

Companies such as Linde plc are no scam. They existed far longer than the climate drama. Their value just increased because demand in their products increased as well. Greenwashing is only done in media. Company winnings and numbers don’t lie. (Except if they do. Fuck wirecard)

You don’t have to take my word for it: cnbc.com/…/chamath-palihapitiya-esg-investing-is-…

I will look later into that article.

I don’t know what you think of us Germans. But we are rational capitalists. And I do believe to know a lot about it.

My comparison on housing insulation is purely based on my experience. Italien housing is not much insulated. Insulation is usually driven by the need to reduce cost when heating in winter. That’s a problem Italiens face not so much. Therefor in comparison to Northern Europe, Italien housing is far less insulated. And because insulation goes both ways, I came to the conclusion that Northern European housing is better suited for warm summers.

No it’s not. It has already been studied, that with an inflation rate of roughly 2 percent, that people are more willing to spend.

And currently we exceed this by far. And people do spend their money in an attempt to get the most out of it.

So wealth hoarding is currently no problem. And in a well managed economical state, it as well becomes no problem.

Well, there is always the option to use sunsails in orbit. These could also be motorised and adapt to the needed parameters.

There are a ton of solutions. And the weather and climate engineering is just one of them.

This is simply wrong. Basic research comes from universities and institutes.

But most research, Including research with application potential, comes from the privat sector. This includes the Pharma industry, the medical industry, the chemical industry, semi conductor industry and informatics.

It is mainly driven by big companies. In constant need to outperform their competition, or not to fall behind in research and innovation.

None of those links are about Chemistry or Physics. The demos link is Economics, The Entrepreneurial State. The youtube link is about the history of the internet. Maybe try learning something that isn’t STEM. Might broaden your way of thinking.

Sure it would. But it probably wouldn’t change my standpoint.

I’ll respond to the rest of your comment later, although I’m not sure I want to anymore since you clearly have no interest in taking into account new information.

Yes, unfortunately I am extremely stubborn. Sorry.

Also how the fuck can you be interested in technology and say something like this:

Because most of it was useless. What kind of innovation did. space exploration bring to humans?

Because rockets are boring. Bubble and stuff is just extraordinary craftsmanship and black matter will take some time. And I overall hate relativity theory. I am hoping for gravitons. Wave functions rock.

If you know anything about any science you should know how stupid of a point this is

Not stupid. Some sciences simply are idiotic. Do you have any idea how much I hate biologists. Entitled brats. Some of them have an extreme superiority complex. And don’t get my talking about physicists. Buch of weirdos. You should see physicists interact with biologists. It like two different species encountering each other. But communication attempts are futile.

Wait. But someone has to bottle the water, right? Or is nestle supposed to do it for free?

Furthermore they have to compete with tap water. So the value of bottled water can only be the water itself + bottle + energy used to fill bottle + interest because their “service” is not for free. There is a justified interest to make a profit from one’s efforts.

Did you read any of those links? 10% of world GDP. That’s not relatively little. That’s insane.

I have only overflown the Oxford paper. Caught my attention with the affect of increasing taxing the rich. Interesting take, but purely theoretical with no reasonable adaption possibility. The rich would just leave the country and some other country would profit from their taxes.

And stocks doesn’t automatically mean good. How much of that is speculative bubbles and hype-driven overvalued stocks?

If you believe to know which ones are overvalued, then you should try to go buy short positions in them. Maybe you become rich then?

Jokes aside. The stock market is relatively precise, it also projects potential into the future. Due to that many stocks to combat climate change have risen in popularity and a lot of money has been brought to said companies by purely capitalistic driven motives.

The first one is about how wet bulb temperatures and extreme heat work. The second one is about Europe. Whether or not they are ‘more’ resilient doesn’t matter.

Yes it does matter. European housing is well insulated. And definitely sturdier than US housing.

Also I don’t think you know what Europe is.

Yea, my bad. As a German I obviously have no idea what Europe is.

Scandinavian, Central European and British houses are mostly made to keep heat in during cold winters. They’re not good for heatwaves.

This is wrong. Insulation goes both ways. In summer it helps keeping the cooler night temperatures inside.

Mediterranean style housing is definitely better for heat. But that doesn’t stop Italy, Spain, and France from having deadly heatwaves.

Mediterranean housing is not especially good against heat. Wrong assumption. Swedes, Germans and the French are doing a much better job than the mediterranes.

I still think you are lying. Or you are incredibly stupid. Because your identity and your job should be kept secret. My grandparents were military engineers in the Soviet Union. Do you think anyone knew that? Of course not, because they were instructed to not talk about it. As should you, in case you are the real deal. I myself have followed the path of my father, currently studying to become a chemist in Munich. One ore year to go.

I have been reading about the worst case scenario. But even then the oceans would heat up, Oxygen saturation would diminish, big fish would die, algae would thrive on higher CO2 levels and buffer climate change at some point. Humanity and most animals on land should be capable to survive to this buffer point.
