Since almost nobody is voting for Green parties around the world, that's not going to happen. Even most concerned Americans voted for a major party instead last year.

My only hope is some energy breakthrough that allows us to actively reduce CO2 concentration instead of just stopping its production.
- njarboe 9y agoNuclear fission powered CO2 scrubbers could be built with today's technology. Not to mention getting rid of current CO2 emissions from coal and natural gas electricity production. Unfortunately the Greens have been making that politically impossible for the last 50 years. Tax carbon and reduce acceptable man-made radiation exposure from power generation to something reasonable in the same bill. This would be a compromise position. Even ExxonMobil supports a carbon tax. Let's do it already.
