We ARE spending the money on climate change……...increasing the atmospheric emissions, and blowing larger holes in whatever ozones are left, with every blast into space………just not in a direction of recovery. /s

No one has suggested a single thing that works that would help. Nuclear power would be helpful if you believe we can’t as a society adjust for a 1.5C temp rise. Wind and solar will not do it. Also you should work on China and India. That’s where a difference can be made. We who are about to fry salute you!

I think at this point it's more about mitigating the consequences and/or making civilization more resilient in general. Another thing to try would be to at least limit as much as possible further emissions or perhaps at the very least "new" emissions that are "nice to haves" but not absolutely necessary to the functioning of society.

Future methane fueled rockets will be far less pollutant and even so it is a drop in the bucket of climate offenders. On top of that there being no alternative to spacs travel. Launches in particular. We're stuck with chemical rocket engines for the foreseeable future.
