> The entire worlds growth has to be regulated at this point to ensure stability.

Why does this sound familiar?

Well, look, I for one at least appreciate the honesty from many climate concerned types that the goal is really authoritarian socialism. It’s much better to be honest about that than the years previous where it was all “we can just solve it with a tax” which implied but didn’t come right out and say what it really is to some people.



Regulation doesn't mean authoritarianism.

Is the WTO authoritarianism? Is a speed limit authoritarianism?

NO. Those are just regulations, because as systems get more complex you need more rules to manage the scale.


Uh huh, and how are the undesirable actions, the regulations, and taxes enforced? The gun, same as was, same as it will be.


The same way that undesireable actions are handled in the WTO.

Look all I'm talking about doing is creating a world climate organization rater than a world trade organization and you're trying to tell me I'm suggesting authoritarianism. It's ludicrous.
