I sit in a hot office and think about this. I am not sure where to ask. I am genuinely curious. I have seen a breakdown of building solar panels to power the earth 2x over in order to recapture carbon equal to the rate it is being produced, but then areas of the earth that were reflective are now absorbtive of heat...

The YouTube video "the story of stuff" describes how the great depression was caused by people buying things once, and once the idea of buy the same thing every few years then trash it became a thing, well the economy keeps rolling

Even if we stop 100% of all co2 production today, we may have a lot of hard times ahead until the co2 gets recaptured somehow.

A lesson taught over and over to me is rich people fomo - if you don't "invest" in personal productivity, then you will be poor and irrelevant pretty soon then you will get sick and poor people don't live well when health gives a jackhammer to the face.

I am not as bad as you describe, but I may be more consuming than I could be as I try to maximize wealth.

I thought it was because of

massive tarrifs that were rolled out worldwide
crop failures in the southwest
bank failures
a stock market crash

I didn't know it was because of toaster buying habits.
