You need to separate two things, climate change and manmade. Let's pretend I've bought into your stupidity and agreed that climate change is 100% manmade, how does paying more taxes stop it?
The climate can't not change, just your like your body, entropy ensures that.
its like saying my weight fluctuates up and down and then you take gear and all of sudden you get swolliosis. You then claim because your body is always changing it cannot be from something novel to the system.
I dont know about taxes, I have not read if carbon taxes help. I think its likely too late anyway we will just have to deal with the fallout. Obviously switching to renewables makes sense, stopping massive deforestation, carbon capture startups etc.
Do I think retards will try and take advantage of this situation, yes, do I think that reflects on the veracity of the claims made the world over, no.
We are in end stage capitalism now, accumulation is the name of the game with the idea of endless profit. Humans and the environment are a standing reserve, resources to be used in the name of capital. The inequality is widening, the situation will not improve economically, its baked into the system. Nothing will likely be done as capital is now the ruling class, not humans.
I just don't see how you stop a system that has evolved beyond our control.
