Rising CO2 and temperatures is definitely a problem, but isn't technology making a difference already? There are millions of hybrid cars on the road just in the U.S., for example, and already over half a million EV's. China and India are poised to manufacture and use millions of EV's and we are about to see a flood of very low price electric vehicles from these countries. An electric truck maker is opening a plant in Ohio. Fracked natural gas, which is the "cleanest" fossil fuel, is replacing "dirty" coal in electric power plants. Residential solar is booming as prices drop and house batteries become a realistic way to store the power. In Massachusetts, for a few extra dollars a month you can now opt to purchase "green" electricity. Research into better batteries, better solar panels, and more efficient hybrid vehicles and EV's is proceeding apace. All of these technologies are bound to reduce greenhouse gas production not just in the developed countries but also in the places where it really counts--the billions of people of China, India, and Africa. People are composting and gardening at record levels in the U.S. Interest in composting and recycling is now widespread. If we accept that we have produced too much CO2 and need to scale back on burning stuff and allow the atmosphere and ecosystem to return to a status quo ante then some legislative efforts to institute and continue tax incentives to spur technology seems like the right thing to do.
