The problem with this reasoning, and political funding generally, is that it demands near immediate results. That isn't going to happen. The problem of global warming will eventually work itself out economically. Industry has been evolving towards a carbon neutral solution since the 1850s. The large carbon footprint exists because people started consuming and requiring energy faster than energy related technologies were evolving, but this has started to change in recent years. This said people will start off-loading their energy demands onto cheaper more sustainable technologies as they become available, which in time will increase the expense of fossil fuels as an energy source, comparatively speaking. Even if the problem of energy consumption induced global warming is solved the next consideration is how long it will take for the implications of global warming to be resolved in the effects upon climate.
