You just identified the reason I believe we are heading for a future without fossil fuels Jared, thanks for highlighting it, it doesn't come as a surprise to me.
It is the inevitable outcome of being dependent on mathematically negative energy.
Science has not yet started to recognise that distinction, the difference between mathematically negative and mathematically positive energy, because science itself is still mostly powered by mathematically negative energy.
All the effects you've identified, including CO2, and the business generated to pretend to deal with CO2, are cascading effects, multipliers of the original "sin", which is the initial taking of energy from the planet, and from life, without even acknowledging it has been taken, by every transaction for profit.
The profitable transaction was always an energy con. It always results in energy stolen from Earth, and subsequent positive temperature impulse, we just never realised it until now.
All the multipliers of that initial action, all the consequences, are negative, because they multiply that first initial action by cascading negative effects.
What isn't talked about much yet, but will be, is that when we do the opposite, put energy into our planet, and life, like all of nature except us does, we get positive multipliers, positive cascading effects, which can and will undo all the negative cascading effects.
We will get that, almost instantly when we monetise them.
That starts by issuing the stimulus needed to monetise historical and ongoing creation of economic product created from solar, which is the only truly mathematically positive energy.
We actually saw some of these positive cascading effects before, during the massive stimulus of covid, but we didn't recognise them for what they really were.
That stimulus enabled folk to be trading in markets with free money that they didn't mind losing, they bought the shares of companies technically bankrupt, because they wanted to support things they didn't want to lose. Those companies technically went into public ownership just then, but this was never recognised or acknowledged by "Authorities", who moved the goalposts, enabling the rescued companies to claim still private ownership. Hertz is an example. Some cruise shipping companies are in there also.
Another thing that happened was oil prices going negative, the first and only time in history so far.
That was something of a miracle, if traditional investors could have seen that coming, of course they would have bet against it and prevented it.
It happened because nobody bought oil. Warren Buffet / Berkshire Hathaway had literally fled the markets, leading all the other trad investors out like sheep. That was effectively an unofficial strike. They claimed "Something has gone wrong with money".
So nobody was buying oil, the new traders remaining, trading with free money were all busy buying up bankrupt stocks that the traditional investors said should not be bought.
That resulted in actual environmental recovery, again the only time seen in history so far.
The dollar itself went up in value, not down, despite what traditional economists expected, even by MMT it was unexplained.
It is because truly valuable things were being done by the dollar, the market recognised this, and the dollar price went up.
All of these things were positive multipliers, because the free money behind it all was effectively monetising positive energy, enetgy given for nothing by the sun, nothing asked in return for that energy, therefore no dishonest transaction by profit is possible with that energy, the only way it can be monetised is to be given for free.
Issuing the money is a positive multiplier!
I hope you won't think this is detracting from your post Jared, I hope you will see it is a positive multiplier... ^^
