Hey Everyone. I appreciate the chance to ask a question. This is a real question. I am in the Solar business. In fact my firm only works on the reduction and production of green energy. There is no possible way to achieve 100% renewable energy because there is not enough raw material to do so. With that said, if this is such a serious issue (affects everyone now and in the future ) why aren’t the scientist boycotting worthless industries that cause massive damage. E.g. fashion industry, movie industry, food channel, entertainment, etc… we all know first hand that these industries waste and kill millions every year. Wouldn’t it be a good start to sanction or tax these first? Outside of minimal educational pieces they are 95% worthless to the future of mankind. Second question. We all know that iPhones and technology is depleting the planet of precious resources. Most of which are outside of the US. Is the work that minorities are doing in 3rd world countries worth an iPhone? This may be outside of your wheelhouse but as a good scientist should, consider other facts that can bring this back to reality. Thank you in advance.

Hello again and thank you for answering my question earlier. One follow up. I understand you are saying that increase in CO2 is an issue but CO2 is not a pollutant. It was present the day we were born. So why does adding CO 2 to the atmosphere hurt us? There are 400 trees for every person on earth and each tree provides oxygen for approximately 3 people. Are we at risk of O2 issues if we reduced carbon? I know the 21 to 12 % rule of oxygen inhaled, but have you measured the back end of the reduction?

I understand what you are saying but it was the democratic process that got us here. China and other countries our size do not have same regulations. Will only reducing the Western Hemisphere CO2 actually do what is needed if this is an actual crisis.
