> advanced technology will solve this problem before any major policy changes are needed There's no way to know if that will happen, you're just blindly hoping the magic technology fairy will fix the problem because you hate taxes or liberals or both. Every ton of CO2 we spew into the atmosphere today will stay there for centuries. And there's a lag of decades between the spewing and the feedback effects to be felt, so there's little market pressure to fix the problem now.
