    let’s assume worldwide shipping creates enough jobs for 1% of the world’s population. that’s 70,000,000 jobs.

    if half of those jobs (35,000,000) just poofed out overnight, what would be the global climate impacts after 6-8 months?

    I’m willing to bet it wouldn’t be positive.

    edit: sorry, didn’t realize I was on a slrpnk instance where emotions outrank logic.

      We lived for millions of years without jobs. We’d be fine. In fact, We’d replace those jobs with jobs in renewable energy sectors.

      Its insane to me that people argue that we should continue accelerating climate change which will kill far more people and cost more money than what we would make addressing and mitigation it.

      But that would get in the way of your dumbass argument wouldn’t it?
