I thought this already happened in the 80’s when we stopped getting our McDonald’s burgers in styrofoam boxes?

Yeah this is political theater, and a tax grab, now if the money raised was used to get the country ready for the coming world.

I did in fact answer your question, you may just be unable to comprehend the implications of an old man being forced to work because of that very same self-destructive mindset.
In civilized society the situation makes him a victim by default.

What? It's possible to measure the ozon layer and create forecasts based on that measure.

Reply to comment by whatatwit in Farmer Geoff Stevens has converted a formerly cold barn into a warming room for vulnerable people in Suffolk. He insulated it, got a log burner working, and added a kitchen and he's just opened it to the public in 2022 after plans to convert it to a café in 2020 were delayed. (links in comments) by whatatwit
Wait til he hears about Stephen.

Ok, you didn’t really answer my question IMHO but it’s not worth debating. I hope he enjoys some happiness and travels now.

How could this be even remotely believable? There is no evidence to support this.
Edit: What significant contributing factor(s) to the decline of the ozone layer has been stopped or dramatically slowed?

Wow that must feel so surreal seeing your colleague on a Reddit post. Really glad that he is doing better these days.

He's an elderly man being forced to work to make ends meat in a first world country in the supposed civilized world.
I know it might be hard for some Americans or American-minded people to comprehend this, but the true value of a society is displayed by how it treats it's weakest members.
He's not only a victim of a cruel society, but also an exemplary sign of it's sickness and self-destructiveness.

"These offsets are good. Just trust me, bro".
Anyways, here are a couple of videos on offsets.

So they must cut emissions but actually they don't have to because we gave them a loophole.

You can invest your 401k in US Treasuries, which is what I believe Social Security invests in. So you could engineer your 401k to have the same investment risk as Social Security (much less risky than stocks).
You can also buy CDs and other risk free investments.
Im sorry that your aunt’s 401k took a nosedive. But investing in a 401k can be as low risk as you want it to be …

Yeah.. And even a normal savings account that hardly caters for inflation will be better than forced safety net that is negative and abused.

Do you know what’s super depressing? Looking at a chart of greenhouse gas producers by country.
Australia barely registers compared with China, who’s nearly putting out more than the whole rest of the world combined.
I want to do my bit for the environment, but it’s depressing when you find out it has almost negligable impact
