maybe we should fix the manufacturing issue where we waste so much on items that circle the globe only to end up being destroyed or just tossed out

[makefutur]

Human activity 🤔?! You mean corporate activity* remember corporations aRe PeOpLe and corporations are responsible for 99% of pollution.

[zombienectar]

Remember World Government rule no 1 Blame the people.

We need a group of CEOs who own companies that pollute the earth to fly in helicopters and jets to Davos and tell us how to recycle. That’s the only solution.

[lowhandlagum]

World leaders and scientists need to immediately fly in private jets to a global conference, so we can discuss about this!

[preciousguineapigs]

Stop taking private jet flights while the rest of humanity is in lockdown 😡

This is going to help Mr Microsoft sell his idea on putting particles of calcium carbonate into the atmosphere to cool the planet... I mean what could go wrong with that! 😵

[TheInfurnos]

Unless taxes are raised right away, the sky will fall!

[dominiquepersechino]

I think you mean rampant runaway Corporate activity is to blame... Change Must come from governments regulating transnational corporations. Bring Right to Repair Legislation!

[marcellachine]

Chop from the top. Go after the corporations first.

[ericdouglas]

This has been the constant theme for years going back to Club of Rome days.

How is that possible?! I thought Trudeaus Carbon tax was going to fix everythinnnng

[seanthompson]

But I thought the carbon tax was suppose to fix climate change?

[TiazaLynn]

I heard a 7 year old say the opposite. I take her opinion over the UN.

[Ahmed-efbg]

Code red for humanity? Thank you corporations.

[petersaint]

Hey guys, who is on the UN human rights council again?

[davidguay]

Let's just ignore big corporations who build factories over seas that literally pollute the air, land, and sea in MASS! Remember folks it's your fault even though you've barely left your house in over a year.

[MikeHawkPEN]

The fact we would think its "irreversable" shows how ignorant we are to the power of mother nature.

[southwestclown]

Great. Can we get rid of the carbon tax now then since it isn’t working anyway ? Can we have our hard earned money back ?

I was born in greece I remember 40 and 45 degrees in the 80s but now that's considered climate change...
