We could lead by example. We stopped testing weapons with the belief that other countries would suspend their efforts. North Korea and Iran didn't seem to follow that example.
We could try the carrot approach, but giving a pallet of cash to Iran didn't prove to be helpful.
When Trump did the stick approach it got North Korea's attention, for a short while.
If a country has large coal deposits they will build that type of plant over a nuclear plant simply based on the cost.
I don't have an answer, but I am sure that driving our economy into the ground and becoming dependent on other countries for our energy needs to provide an example will not work just like our suspension of testing.
We do this by creating a Global government, by getting rid the of need of winner take all capitalism, creating equity, and being welcoming to migrating communities which due to climate change will be in the billions. The idea of private home ownership needs to be overcome. The labs can play a big role in this.

Very well said. Thank you.
The labs should divert some of their LDRD funding on looking how to scientifically make are more green and equitable future. This would include looking into how to meet people basic needs with dignity and respect. How to reduce wealth inequalities, make sure that large portion of our society do not have to live in fear. Covid has offered the labs a unique opportunity to doing something to make the world better rather than working on weapons of mass destruction that supports a western system that says it is about freedom when in fact it is about oppression.
9:49 can you provide any shred of evidence for the actual utility of your socialist agenda? Since when do “the Labs” provide ANY role in the elimination of private home ownership or a Global government? You spew to the point of froth.
