Might as well throw my cent in:

yes yes yes
I’d rather SES and other emergency services than military training.
I don’t know enough to say 100% support, but it sounds smart to me. Not even just from an environmental pollution POV. That said, there would also need to be controls to avoid local price gouging.

My vision would be a peace corps-like body that works on projects that specifically are designed to mitigate climate change, or respond to disasters caused by climate change. Planting trees, creating bike lanes, working in tech areas that are helping with modelling and mitigation…transition town initiatives, rewilding… I’m sure many other options.

I assume Climate Corp would be like Park Rangers or Environmental cleanup.

When we were younger National Parks used to recruit students during school holidays to perform works around the parks. We used to get food and accommodation and would maintain the public facilities, clear overgrown bushland and perform basic maintenance on infrastructure.

Nowadays, due to Economic Rationalism, they pay top-dollar for professional contractors to perform the work, or in most cases, just don’t perform the work.
