Comment on Aerosol

Well it’s understandable, the concept of being able to actually do something about the environment on a world scale instead of just blindly pretending it’s not a thing until it kills us all is a bit hard to believe for younger generations for obvious reasons.

I don’t understand, why would it sound implausible? Isn’t that what governments are FOR?

  Not when all governments have been captured by oil tycoons it isn’t.

    Oh. But they were good for this before that, right?

    The banning of CFCs due to their environmental impacts, retooling the aerosol and refrigerant industries, is what it looks like when we have a functioning world society.
    
    There are adults now who were born after that and don’t remember a time when we could behave that way, so they have every right to be cynical.

  It’s what governments are supposed to be for.

    I know, the government is bad, so if we put a bad man in charge it’ll be a double negative and become good, right?

    You ADD a bad person to the government, you don’t MULTIPLY.
    
    But what do I know about maths?! Somehow the bad effects end up growing exponentially, and I can’t explain that.
