    That’s the thing that scares me the most, actually. That in order to ensure humanity’s survival, all we need to do is cure the dark greed in every man’s heart.

    Otherwise, we’ll just end up with carbon credit style solutions that ensure we transfer ownership of emissions at a heavily discounted rate, rather than making less emissions.

      The problem isn’t curing greed, it is using an economic and governmental system that enables the people to be intentional about production and consumption. Capitalism isn’t it, it explicitly relies on markets which is an opaque tool which makes it difficult to live intentionally. Markets tell you to just “trust” that the price reflects the impact of that product or commodity.
