"what if" the impossible was possible?
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


See User information
This seems not Amiga-related but I think it is. I just need this step before my next "what if" post.

Let's make 2 hypothesis.

1)
I believe 6 people can find 30M$ and in 5 years, they can help create a better world for the next generations by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by 40 tons CO2 equivalent (same as annual emissions of 3500 european citizens).
They can do this by going against the world and the economy Humans created which is solely based on profit.

2)
I'm sure 2 people can create in 5 years a new bank from scratch and find 100 000 customers that will generate 2 billions $ of transactions. And they can do it without giving 1 $ to fossil fuel companies, unless all major banks.

Do you believe me? Or do you think it's so impossible that I'm completely insane?
You can answer I'm insane, no problem with that

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

(to be continued...)

In schools we are taught from an early age to be competitive and solidarity for the weakest people is not taught.
Scientific research for the cure of human and planetary diseases is not taught.
The human being It's destined to disappear, it's just a matter of time.
In fact, wars continue.
Research to extend human life always comes second to everything else.
Just like increasing the budget for medical care.

Humans aren't truly sociable; on the contrary, they're selfish.

I've spent more than 10 years in hospitals. I've seen doctors think only of money without a shred of humanity toward their patients.

Everything is corrupt throughout the world.
And only the smallest portion of human beings are altruistic and willing to improve this world.

Humanity simply won't overcome its current problems in the next 100 years.
And rightly so, at the level of our solar system and our galaxy, we are among those planets destined to self-destruct.

My answer to your question:
It's impossible for this solution to be put into practice.

Because currently there's no solid basis to start from
The majority is the one who decides.
And currently the majority have no intention whatsoever of making this world a better place.

When oil began to be used for the industrial revolution.
From the beginning, it was said that it was meant to be a temporary situation while waiting for alternative solutions to be found, thus gaining a head start on the search for alternative sources.

LEADED gasoline itself was covered up for years by oil companies.
Then it was banned.
The tale of the TIN SOLDIER it was proposed again in a different key by the companies to make people believe that lead was not harmful.
Many people don't know this truth.
And clearly, I'm not a conspiracy theorist; it's the simple truth about that period in history.

I might have an inkling of the arc that you are running. Still it's more likely that I have it wrong.

You'll know soon.
But what is your opinion? Is my short story possible or just cannot be done in our economic-driven world?

Well. Since reducing atmospheric Co2 won't change the temperature. I find other places that would be better suited for all those money. The Earth has become more green, and history has shown that when the temperature is high(er), life florish. When it gets cold life suffers.

Thanks for the hint about Sagan. I didn't know this text.
I like the conclusion.

> reducing atmospheric Co2 won't change the temperature

Really? Well I believe facts: https://presse.avril.com/11000-ton-of- ... ville-train-line/?lang=en

But this is out of the scope of my post.
The question is "6 people and 30M$ can do it?"
