Climate change is real and human-caused, but I question whether aggressive carbon taxes are the best solution when developing countries still need cheap energy to lift millions out of poverty. I've seen solar prices drop 90% in a decade, yet coal plants are still being built across Southeast Asia because they're reliable and profitable. Should we prioritize punishing emissions globally, or should we focus on making clean tech irresistible through innovation and subsidies first? I'm torn because the timeline for adaptation is shrinking, but the economic gap between nations makes a uniform policy feel unfair.
