I am really glad this is happening. I think that the Moore's Law-like decline in costs of wind and solar are going to far more to combat climate change than every international treaty ever attempted, and that's great because climate change is a serious problem and it must be addressed.
However...
I think we have been trying to figure out how to get the world's economy to shift off of fossil fuels for so long, we haven't given a lot of thought to what happens as we do, which appears to be in the process of happening. Right now it's coal that's circling the drain. The other fossil fuels will come a few years after.
Imagine every nation in the world that depends on oil revenue right now, going the way of Venezuela.
We are not ready.
