YC: let’s finance companies to solve climate change
Also YC: let’s make tools to encourage more flight travel
- mgfist 4y agoSolving air travel emissions will come from decarbonizing air travel, not from prohibition. Even if all flights were to be cut in half tomorrow it would have a rounding error effect on global emissions.
- throwawaytimes 4y agoRules are for peasants
- jacooper 4y agoDon't kid yourself, not body's going to stop flying because of climate change.
- jhbadger 4y agoSome people definitely have. Or have decided to limit themselves to one flight a year as a compromise. "Staycations" where people take vacations in their home town are a thing, and the pandemic has shown that most business travel is unneeded.
- jacooper 4y agoIf these people even count for 1%, that would be an achievement in itself.
- jdjslskshdj 4y agoRisk diversification I guess? But yeah, disappointing that YC would invest in something like this.
- nickparker 4y agoAlmost nobody in tech is interested in the degrowth solution to climate change, we’re all in on increased affluence with tech mitigations for the environmental harms. Somebody’s gotta book all the electric / / synfuel powered flights ;)

- chillbill 4y agoWhat are you suggestions as an alternative to flying? How would people travel from one country to another quickly?
