When there’s a nonsensical non-solution proposed to solve a claimed problem, it’s entirely normal to question whether the claimed problem is even real.
After all, if there’s really an asteroid headed toward the earth, you don’t pretend to solve that by trading asteroid credits in an asteroid trading scheme. You build the mechanisms needed to divert the asteroid, and you only build effective mechanisms not farcical ones.
The things the kids are not learning in school are: 1) basic critical thinking (they might question their teachers which inconveniences the teachers) and 2) skepticism (Cartesian doubt) is the #1 most important concept in the philosophy of science. If one simply believes everything an authority figure says then that’s religion, and not even very good religion, not science.
