You're essentially correct, and (I think) being downvoted for the tone of your rhetoric, which could be phrased in a more pleasing and convincing way. Also, most of us do love cheeseburgers, unhealthy though they may be.
Either way, humanity hasn't matured enough for this viewpoint to be considered common sense. Give us another few centuries.
The truth is painful and people will never listen because it threatens their identity and their lifestyle, so it doesn't matter how it's phrased. Only top-down mandates, unlike democratic processes, can solve climate change. I hope China threatens every country with obliteration unless they meet net carbon negative goals and participate in international CCS efforts to reduce GHGs immediately. No other mechanism will work because 99.9% of the planet aren't wise enough to save their own children. Those who prevent or avoid climate change GHG reductions are tantamount to firing guns at everyone else. And what do you do with someone who is trying to kill you and your family?
That’s not necessarily the truth. It’s more of a hypothesis or opinion.
In any case, enforcement of anything will require boots on the ground (or boots programming and building the drones). So you’ll have to convince the unwise 99.9% of something. Unilateral climate rescue by the enlightened 0.1% is, to me, a fantasy, as is anybody listening to threats by the Chinese government. They already do a lot of threatening.
In my opinion, this line of thinking will inevitably be hijacked to commit genocide so some group or groups can stay in power.
Either way, humanity hasn't matured enough for this viewpoint to be considered common sense. Give us another few centuries.
