What if we could solve the climate and housing crises at the same time? Financial institutions have pledged trillions to transform the economy and accelerate climate action — but right now, that money is not flowing at the speed it needs to, says sustainable investing expert Veronica Chau. Illuminating the links between climate change and affordable housing, she suggests a playbook of moves to start mobilizing big money and transform climate financing challenges into opportunities.

One difference I’ve noticed between the U.S. and Canada with regard to housing is the mortgage tax deduction in the U.S. results in the building of much bigger houses which require more resources -materials, labor and energy. The planet can no longer afford this status seeking nonsense. I’m encouraged by the tiny house movement which I plan to be a part of when I finally decide to settle down.

Hopefully in a billion years (if we are still around, lol) we will have figured out a lot more about ways to make cleaner energy. Also cleaner ways to manufacture, etc.
If not, then there’s no hope anyway, lol.

@Geekabibble so this is a TEMPORARY “solution” how temporary? 5 years or 5000 years? and is the $4 trillion annual also temporary? Maybe if we move to hovels we could do better and spend $40 trillion annually? until HOPEFULLY something improves? You do realize tho meantime a solar flare of large enough magnitude and direction is unpredictable unstoppable and can wipe out a thousand years of human “climate correction” in a week?

Give me your money. Please give me your money. There is no climate crisis. 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000. Accumulated cyclone energy shows no increasing trend. Global hurricane landfalls shows no trend. Downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers. NOAA: “We conclude that the historical Atlantic hurricane data at this stage do not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced century-scale increase in: frequency of tropical storms, hurricanes, or major hurricanes, or in the proportion of hurricanes that become major hurricanes.” NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. The trend for over 7 decades has been downwards in the Pacific as well.
Drought appears to be decreasing globally measured by SPI 1901-2017.
Global trends show no increasing flooding frequency or severity.
For every million people on earth, annual deaths from climate-related causes have declined 98%.
Deserts have shrunk considerably since the 1980’s. The Sahara shrank by 12,000km² per year 1984-2015.
The Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime.
The Great Barrier Reef’s coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded.
On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years, so from observations there are an average of slightly less than 2 species lost every year.
Global temperatures maxed out in 2016 and have been lower ever since.
There is no climate crisis.

This is just another FEAR MONGERING by the UN and the NWO Globalist “Elites” to CONTROL the people of this world. The UN and the NWO Globalists “Elites” DO NOT OWN the world. The so-called “scientists” of the UN-controlled IPCC will definitely follow the narrative of the “hand that feeds them”. Here are some of the predictions of these “Global Warming/Climate Change” propagandists that never came true:
1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’
1969: ‘Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989.’
1970: ‘Ice age by 2000’
1970: ‘America subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.’
1971: ‘New Ice Age Coming in 2021’
1988: ‘Increase in regional drought in 1990s’
‘Ocean levels will rise from one to six feet.’
‘Maldives completely under water in 30 years.’
1989: ‘Rising seas to ‘obliterate’ nations by 2000.’
2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is.’
2002: ‘Famine in 10 years.’
2008: ‘Al Gore warns of ice-free Arctic by 2013’
2008: ‘Arctic will be ice-free by 2018’
2009: ‘Prince Charles says only 8 years to save the planet’
2009: ‘Al Gore: Polar ice cap may disappear by summer 2014.’
2013: ‘Prof. Peter Wadhams: Ice-free Arctic in 2 years.’
2014: ‘French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius: 500 days to avoid climate chaos.’
It’s time for King Charles, Al Gore, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and their understudy Greta (How dare you!) Thunberg to STOP promoting this hoax climate change that is being championed by the Aristocracy of Europe led by King Charles! Less and less people are buying what they are selling. World climate has been changing since biblical times. Our Creator designed it that way. Read the Bible for your better enlightenment! Better still, DON’T PLAY GOD!

In order to globally reach net zero carbon by 2050, you would need 180 years worth of the 2019 production of copper, 380 year’s worth of the production of nickel, 1600 year’s worth of the production of cobalt, 6700 year’s worth of graphite, and 9400 year’s worth of lithium. (Associate Research Professor Simon Michaux from Geological Survey of Finland) GTK (published August 20, 2021). The most interesting statistic to me is the amount of lithium needed. With states like California outright banning the sale of new cars that are not electric by 2035, it is extremely obvious that that law is impossible, it cannot work.
Search the internet, can you find a scientist that says that we can get net zero in 7 years with current production of materials? If you listen to what scientists are saying on this topic, you will be overwhelmed by the deafening roar of silence. Try to find anyone discussing this topic, and see if you can find any reliable source that give figures to show that we can, in fact, cut our emissions to zero with much less materials. Even if the first number, 180 years worth of copper, was 10 times too high, that would still be 18 years of copper production. That 18 years means that all the copper production goes for being green, nobody else gets any copper. That cannot work. You still can’t get 18 years worth of copper in 7 years, when the alarmists are claiming terrible things will start to happen, even though many climatologists don’t agree. Let’s face it, we couldn’t do it in 100 years.
Consider that scientists say that only 10% of the CO2 in the air comes from cars. If we managed somehow to reduce the number of electric cars by 20%, that would save 20% of the 10%. Calculate that, and it only reduces total CO2 emissions by 2%. Is that going to make a difference?
