The modern economy is in for extreme contraction unless we get a handle on this quick. It's time for civilization to control carbon emissions the way it controls nuclear proliferation, actively and aggressively. For example, Indonesia can not be allowed to engage in uncontrolled burning the way it is now. Indonesia fires release more carbon than the entire United States [1] We also need to begin a global carbon capture and sequestration effort, along with increased subsidies for solar and wind. Zoning laws need to change. All new single family construction needs to be net zero energy for example. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage is the only technology that can bring atmospheric carbon back down to a safe level like 350ppm. We are currently over 400ppm and we are seeing melting and increased extreme weather. [2] We have to genetically engineer hyper efficient algae, have it soak up atmospheric carbon, burn it for energy and sequester the carbon emissions on a massive scale. The alternative to doing this is simply unacceptable economically, and politically. A world at 500ppm will be unstable, war torn and out of control. Quite simply, we will all be poor. Markets will contract, insurance prices would skyrocket and food insecurity would be the norm.
