We must close existing nuclear plants. The risks associated with nuclear energy, from catastrophic accidents to hazardous waste, far outweigh its benefits. We should invest in renewable energy sources that are safer and more sustainable for the planet.

I strongly disagree with prioritizing Silver Lining style cloud geoengineering to reverse climate warming. Geoengineering is a risky, unproven technology that could have unforeseen and potentially disastrous consequences. Instead, we should focus on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to sustainable energy sources.

I strongly disagree with the idea of permitting the creation of novel tropical islands through volcano geoengineering. This approach is yet another example of humanity's reckless interference with natural systems. The potential environmental risks and unintended consequences far outweigh any perceived benefits. We should focus on sustainable and equitable solutions to address climate change, rather than resorting to drastic measures that could further destabilize our planet.

I strongly believe that governments should subsidize carbon sequestration through widespread agricultural biochar use. Biochar not only helps in reducing carbon emissions but also improves soil health, leading to more sustainable farming practices. Supporting biochar can be a tangible step towards addressing the climate crisis.

I believe Spain has immense potential to become a renewable energy hub for the EU by expanding its solar panel capacity. With its abundant sunshine and commitment to sustainable practices, Spain can lead the way in the green energy transition. Expanding solar power infrastructure not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also creates jobs and boosts local economies.

I believe that carbon taxes are a crucial step in addressing the climate crisis, making polluters pay for the damage they cause, and incentivizing a shift to renewable energy.

We should not abruptly stop using petrol as it would have severe economic consequences for many communities that rely on the oil industry for their livelihoods. Instead, we should focus on a gradual transition to renewable energy sources.

While AI offers powerful tools for data analysis and monitoring, relying on it to enforce international environmental agreements could undermine human accountability and democratic processes. Real solutions require political will, community involvement, and transparency, not just technology.
