It's all fine and good for John Kerry to utter a fundamental truth about a major driver of climate catastrophe, but it is a useless proclamation without offering a solution.

Have enough tipping points been breached that there are no prescriptions to offer?

Are there certain prescriptive measures surrounding climate catastrophe that should not be discussed? And if so, which ones and why not?

Yeah I think killing unborn children in the name of climate change is one of those things that we should leave off the table. Yep.

Dunno. Making abortion legal and possibly free worldwide means fewer unwanted humans.

Also, regulating any individual's health needs are fraught with complexity and a waste of resources.

Regulation in general is too far from the locus of actual decision to be very precise. It's better just to keep government and big corps out entirely.

Yeah, I don't think any reasonable person is really suggesting that. I prefer that this group discuss matters in a materially and practically objective manner and eschew manufactured moral outrage or virtue signaling. I find no value in entertaining notions that include oxymoronic or indefinable phrases into a frank discussion, nor do I consider it topically relevant.

Furthermore, although you have mentioned one issue that should not be discussed, I notice that you have not given any indication as to why this should not be discussed. You can keep the answer to yourself, as I suspect that the answer has more to do with morality than the material reality in which humanity finds itself.

Finally, and continuing off-topic, if you don't want an abortion, don't get one. Subscribing one's morality to another is not only unhelpful, but undignified. Thank you for your cooperation.
