Actually the vast majority of humanity wants aggressive action on climate solutions but US government subsidizes overwhelmingly go to oil production not clean energy. If market forces were actually able to play out, there would be faster movement than there has been. I say this as someone very much in favor of governmental solutions to problems like health care, climate change, basic infrastructure, education and recognize that markets often fail to address certain types of problems. I am not a small or anti government libertarian by any measure.
I just think we have reached a critical mass of support with most people wanting solutions that if the cynical manipulation of the argument and disingenuous “debate” that is only trying to cast doubt to keep the oil money flowing were to stop the market would act fast.
