I would suggest that this person go to the moon, but not even the moon is entirely free of carbon.
I can't think of any carbon-free planets in the solar system--maybe Mercury or Pluto? In any case, I'm pretty certain that I don't want the earth to become carbon-free. Even if we could reach such a goal, it would be a BAD idea, since that would eliminate all life on earth.
"It makes fundamental economic sense" for countries to push forward on tackling climate change because of the benefits it will bring in terms of food, water and energy, as well as employment," Christiana Figueres told a carbon market conference in Barcelona.
It makes zero economic sense. We do not have the technology to control the weather/climate, and if we did, would it be a good idea? Sure, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like are destructive, but what would be the consequences if we tried to prevent them? Instead of wasting money on such pie-in-the-sky schemes, why not invest that money wisely, in useful technology--like better architectural methods for building storm-resistant structures?
If Jonathan Swift, the premier satirist of the 18th century, had postulated the criminalization of the element carbon, critics would have looked away in sad shame for the once-great writer’s obvious descent into dementia.
