If I were to put a 20 year backlog of any product on the market all of a sudden, at the same time as all my neighboors, demands would be met, and dry up.

This also has led to the fun present that a state when electing its governor can give no other options, besides some wild card, than the current one with no one seeing it as a problem. But lord forbid you vote for anything other than red or blue. Who is red and blue? Well, red is blue and blue is red but blue hates red and red hates blue. Third option?

Aw man there was a great Belgian show almost a decade ago called Basta where they did a bit about the Kyoto protocol. Essentially Belgium was buying carbon credits from a certain country (I forgot which one) but we were buying credits from past years to make up for our pollution this year. Also even if we wanted to buy credits from the current year we couldn't because they themselves had crossed the threshold of the amount of pollution they could produce in that year. They then did a comedy bit where they traveled to said country, where they found some "old air" trapped in old bubblewrap plastic and delivered it to the Belgian ministry for Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development.

Mate I love the fact that you could upload stuff to Nebula, but cutting out half of your videos to throw into Nebula is starting to get a biiiit frustrating for those of us who don't have that kind of disposable income. I don't think The Algorithm would particularly mind 30 minute long videos anyway, so I don't see why you don't upload the entire stuff here. Sincerely, a person who can't afford a Nebula subscription.

@@mgntstr Gotta love that it's capitalisms fault for government leaving in clauses that specifically benefit specific companies which government officials then invest in or whose children get high-paying positions in those companies. And that the solution is to put taxes on consumer products bought primarily by middle and lower class families in 1st world nations, driving smaller companies under because big companies have better profit margins and can afford the economic hardship leading to even further monopolization. Meanwhile, China, the world's largest and dirtiest industrial polluter doesn't even have to abide by any of these regulations whatsoever because a billion peasants living in squalor means your trillion dollar megacorporations are still developing and get a free pass.

Hi, Simon! Love your work, but I want to comment about something that you didn't explore further on the video (and you aknowledge that it's something to talk later). But, carbon tax maybe could be a more effective way to reduce greenhouse gases emition, but wouldn't be, in anyway, an advence on climate justice. More expensive products, only means that the poorest wouldn't be able to afford it, but the richest would be able to continuing consuming as usual. I know that you aren't preaching a market solution, I just think it's important to point out: no market solution is fair or effective on the scale that we need.

Not trying to invalidate your argument, but if there was a carbon tax, wouldn't less carbon-producing products (in essence) replace the more carbon-producing products over time? Meaning more carbon-producing products would rise in price while less-producing ones would (relatively) stay the same? Though it is worth mentioning that less producing products are more expensive to begin with due to the process of being carbon-free, and I suppose they could then increase their prices to whatever they want if demand is high enough. I guess a solution would be to subsidize carbon-free products (or carbon-free technology) so those companies are encouraged to keep producing but can also make sure they keep their prices relatively low for affordability.

In Canada we have a carbon tax, however it hasn't really changed peoples spending habits. Companies have even maximized profits on this by upping the price saying it's just due to carbon tax but it actually cover more and is just a greater profit margin, all it was able to do was cause the annoyance of the Canadian consumer that now had to pay more money on basically everything.
