But alas we can't have nice things but cause the babies whine about his wealth or his politics.
Yellowstone will erupt
An asteriod will hit the earth.
Those two things alone make our little co2 problem look like a drop in the bucket.
There isn't much we can do about it.

The funny part is that fixing CO2 on Earth is the really easy problem compared to surviving on Mars. That's where these ideas just fall apart. If we can't even control one gas on Earth, what hope do we have on Mars?
Someday humanity might become multi-planetary, but the smart move would be to start on the Moon, and then work towards the really hard challenges of Mars. We are so far from Mars even being in the conversation for humanity that any talk of it can be dismissed as dumb.
Reminder, Musk is a serial liar that tends not to deliver on his big ideas. In 2011 he said he'd put a person on Mars in 10 years. He hasn't even got a rocket out of LOE yet, so maybe pump the breaks on these Mars plans he's lying about to get Government dollars.
FSD should be ready by 2017, too. Car will drive itself across the country without intervention. Personally I can't wait for 2017 to finally get here.
Once you realize who Musk is and how he operates, you start to see the size of his grifts. He's spent his entire business life lying to get investors and government funds. For some reason, silly people still believe the things he says.
