    Economists believe is something called externalities. Its very important and it corrects the market. If something is good for the world then you government needs to make it cheaper by subsiding it. If it’s bad then their should be a tax on it. Economist gernally strongly support this but the public seem to be against this.

    This here is giving money to farmers. It’s basically the opposite of externalities. It’s really stupid.

    anything that isn’t a solution is violence against the people who can’t afford to survive 3 degrees of warming and we need to defend ourselves right now.

    Compare this to gasoline. Same engine, right?

    For cars older than a decade, is it or is it not marginally better than inefficient and toxic gasoline?
