The issue? At that moment will have enough ammount of drones and machines to use it against the people. It will be a bloodbath
At this point I think you're right, enough money is backing expansion into the Arctic that carbon capture will be deemed a national security threat.
The issue is not only the Artic, but Antartic too, and is worse since there are terrain on there

We could start making companies responsible for their waste, do away with planned obsolescence, curtail the vast amount of plane flights occurring now, etc, there's a lot of things we could do, but they involve fundamentally altering the way we live as consumer societies.
AI should probably say "you can fix this, you just don't want to".

Maybe the two actions are related. Oh, and it'd be both Russia and US. We are every bit as evil and corrupt now. Every bit.
1: Prep.
2: Cause global nuclear war to rid the earth of all the other pests.
3: Earth is yours.
As your next President, I would make WFH mandatory. There. Solved almost 80% of environmental pollution right there!

November 4 there was a disturbance in the Matrix. We went from a progressive 21st century through a time warp to mid-30s Germany.

I was an early pioneer in the WFH transition.
In 1995, I accepted a promotion from a Network Installation and Support Engineer (major computer company), to a project manager for the US portion of some major global WAN installations.
The technology at the time was dial-up for me to connect into company mainframes, and my flip-phone. Actually it was adequate, as everything was text based, and didn't need a lot of bandwidth. The largest files I needed to deal with were Cisco router configurations, typically only 1 - 3k in size, and some Word and Access files, which took a bit more, but transferred in the background. Soon after I started WFH, I was able to get cable internet at home, a whopping 500K speed at the time.
Dress code was great, as no cameras, thus tidy whiteies surfaced many days. Real problem was I had to turn the damn computer off at the end of the day. I liked the work, I was good at it, and I had to develop a discipline to not overwork.
Did that for 6 years till I got the email that I was elgible for early retirement due to the turndown in business that 9/11 brought on... and I ain't look back...

Don't work like that. Nuclear warfare causes problem.
This is why Musk wants to get the Antartica and Mars.
At any one time in history you can put your finger up and tell which way the wind is blowing and if you are emotionally tied to the results you can make yourself miserable. We have entered a psychotic phase in our history as a nation with the results of conservative and libertarian attitudes cresting owing to the destruction they reek on the human psyche. We think that moral will improve if we increase the beatings people take, those evil others of course.
But perhaps it there may be wisdom in taking a longer view. Conservative and libertarian values, a part of our evolutionary past, and served us well before we developed a functional capacity to reason and predict the future from the psychological understanding granted by self reflection, something that fear in its many forms makes difficult.
You are not alone in your concerns and a huge amount of human effort by millions of others has been devoted to understanding what our fate will be.
In my opinion, there is a different way to look at which way the wind is blowing by looking at the what human nature really is, and in particular, why we have a thing called morality.
Many regard morality as subjective, a matter of personal opinion, that distrust of and control over people is required to maintain civic order, that without violence and force, people will think only of themselves. But what if that is only the logical reaction to living in a defective system that rewards negative behavior and destroys natural human empathy.
If you look at the long arc of human history it is the liberals who are winning, Today's society and the constitutional freedoms our forefathers gave us would have seemed to be insane. Not saying we are at the end of the road, reaching some great height and now in decline. What I am saying is that I believe that it is human nature to care, to think of others as well as ourselves and that you can destroy that tendency with programming but never eliminate it from human nature. Somewhere some how, as history tells us, it will thrive and grow. God is a projection of our own inner potential.
No matter what happens in the world outside, your potential as a god will always be within you. The more faith you have in that the better and better off you will be. The universe is a mirror and you hold one end.

To reiterate why....
This is the "break glass in case of climate tipping point" moment for the planet. Additional human contribution is no longer needed for a Green House earth.
this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations
Soil Fungi May Be a Carbon Pool - Eos
New research suggests that mycorrhizal fungi take in 13 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, playing a prominent role in Earth’s carbon cycle.

More so the people in control of the media don't want climate change to be on the public's mind. If the frog is getting cooked, they say so what? FYGM, why should we care?

And in extreme weather news upwards of 15in of rain fell in central Texas overnight causing the Guadalupe river to rise 20+ ft in about 4 hours. Another example of global weather weirding making it very dangerous.
www.usatoday.com
A dozen or more girls from a Christian summer camp are missing.
My neighbor is also among the missing. He and his wife were RV’ing in the area. His son got an SOS text when my neighbor called 911 early this morning. His son got a hold of him and he was in a tree and didn’t know where his wife was was.
His wife was rescued by helicopter later in the day in rough shape but he’s still missing.
A warmer atmosphere is a wetter one that can lead to extreme flooding.
Edit: news was saying the river rose 26 ft in 45 minutes.
At least 13 dead as officials rush to save lives following floods in Texas' Guadalupe River: Updates
Authorities said 13 people have died in flooding in Kerr County, Texas, and officials have performed \

You know how they say that China is making 1000 year plans?
Maybe end stage capitalism was not the right thing to tackle climate change.
Oh well, live and learn.. wait

WTF? Illegal alien mexican rivers killing people!
ICE need to get on it and deport the damn river. We can't have any Guadalupe's pretending to be American!
Christ, I'm sorry. I've not been everywhere, but I've never seen anywhere flood like Texas.

Thanks for connecting the dots. MSM rarely does when they're reporting on extreme weather events. Everything should be done to put these events into perspective. I think the MSM is afraid to, some of their sponsors/owners wouldn't like it. Yes, extreme weather has happened in every year for the last 250 years, but to what extent? 26.5 foot rise in a river in 45 minutes is ginormous.And in extreme weather news upwards of 15in of rain fell in central Texas overnight causing the Guadalupe river to rise 20+ ft in about 4 hours.

These days it's a good idea to keep one eye on weather forecasts in some areas.
