Thanos was rightThanos had possibly the stupidest plan ever lol.
1. any constitutional admendment is really hard to pass, almost impossible. his propsal lacks any substaintial idea anyways thus making it legally unenforcable.1. Passing an amendment isn't paramount to the plan, just a way to make it less likely for shifting political climates to about face on climate issues. Not sure how that would be legally unenforceable.
2. our government lacks any clear way to force people to move to higher ground. the only way is for the government to buy the land. that would cost millions of billions of dollars and thus impossible.
we do need to move inland but the only real cost is to modify our disaster relief funding to not provide any funding to land within 1 foot of sea level. that way private citizen take a loss on their lands when disasters loose their investment.
that will be wildly popular too.......
3. finally, "innovation" isn't really a think you can enforce. all you can really do is try to provide economic incentives for private industry to change.
a. remove all substities for oil/gas/beef.
b. federal gov isn't allowed to sales tax but call on state govs to tax these industies.
c. renew subsidizes in wind/solar that republican allowed to lapse
4. finally, his plan should include some effort to expand the national park and wildlife preserves to put more land back to nautual use. industry lacks the discipline to accept simple truths like over fishing means you'll catch less fish next year untill your cash crop is extinct and your bankrupt. industry is too short sided and need tougher regulation to protect our wildlife.
but the really bitter truth is we need world war 3 to start. war is actually fantastic for the environment because industry can't work in unstable regions and people can't over-consume. if the planet is going to survive we need to kill each other in overwhleming numbers.
2. Moving shouldn't be forced imo. This plans solution is similar to what you are suggesting:
Quote
Make up to $40 billion available in subsidies, grants, and low-interest loans to individuals who wish to elevate or relocate their homes, or move to higher ground.3. The plan also offers similar solutions. Stop oil subsidies, transition farm subsidies to prioritise healthier methods, implement a carbon tax, funding for research, etc.
Reevaluate the way FEMA and the NFIP determine where structures can be rebuilt, taking a stricter stance against rebuilding in danger zones.
4. Yup the plan includes this too. Not related to this plan, but an interesting idea I saw was treating land kinda like renting instead of buying. Make the tenant pay for any damages to the land when they move out/sell.
