It's basically this but multiplied by the number of countries on the planet - including rapidly developing countries which need the energy.
Complaining about climate change is a luxury for the rich, if you didn't have refrigeration at home your priorities would probably look much different.
Heck, just look at the French Yellow Jacket protests, it's clear the policies arguably needed to combat climate change are harmful to the lower and middle class even in western countries. Especially when those policies are often used to subsidize electric cars or energy efficient windows for those who can afford such things - effectively an inverse transfer payment.
I fear the only way we have a shot at solving this is with cheap, clean energy tech that doesn't yet exist.
- hackeraccount 8y agoThat's exactly correct. And yet people talk about reducing growth. That is opposite of what we need. AGW is the worry of people with money.
