The meme is a response to a Prager U Tweet claiming "end climate change" always pivots to "end capitalism".  It's a picture of Bart and Lisa from the Simpsons looking up at the viewer and asking "ooh, both, can we end both?"

Have you ever considered how much money it would cost to keep the Earth habitable for human life in the future?!

    Funnily enough, it's actually many magnitudes less expensive to act on climate change

    Fun fact, the hottest planet in our solarsystem isn't the one closest to the sun mercury. Sure it's hot, but it has no atmosphere to trap that heat. Venus has an atmosphere made up of mainly carbon dioxide which does traps that heat. Guess what we're dumping into out atmosphere at alarming rates.

    Clearly what we need is some crazy scheme to collect the CO2 from our atmosphere and fly it to Venus! A scheme that totally won't just be another method of funneling money to the rich, and would definitely be cheaper than any of the many deeply investigated plans that scientists have been screaming at us for decades.

    I defend that simply doing what is needed to clean up all the shit we have left behind up to now, let alone prevention, energy transition, moving to biodegradable plastics, mass transit, etc, would create immense economic growth. It's essentially the fossil fuels cartel, and their political minions who keep us here.

    Maybe if all of the renewable sector pooled together to lobby as hard as the fossils, there could be advances.
