Before you ask, I am not entirely a layman as I graduated in TP and wrote a research piece on tropospheric interferometry. Not saying one way or the other either, just that it's not settled.Last edited by TwoWolves; 21 October 2019, 19:20.Comment

If you start from the premise that CO2 is not, in fact, driving climate change and focus on environmental pollution and resource exhaustion as the great existential threats the whole equation inverts and paper becomes the best option (as long as we don't bleach it), or even hemp.
Once it becomes obvious that we are heading into a new solar minima we are going to see a lot of people flip their arguments without missing a beat.focus on environmental pollution and resource exhaustion as the great existential threats

Article also points out that plastic bags were designed to be reused. The issue is lazy humans.
So it seems the only way to save humankind is less humans.....Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
