Lately I have been quite pessimistic about this exact scenario. The current global powerhouses, in terms of emissions (and, well, power) are reluctant to do any effective large-scale changes that reduce their emmissions - why? - corporate greed. Nobody wants to go green when it means a reduction in profit margins. What makes me sad is that this sort of immoral negligence and greed are rooted deeply in the government bodies themselves. Capitalism in the US has reached dystopian levels of political control. China's desire for growth and power will stop at nothing, be it a tree or a human being. European powers are happy talking about green energy when they are still heavily dependant on off-shore oil rigs, mining and natural gas imports/exports. Latin America is destroying itself to make a buck satisfying western bellies. I don't know... Maybe I just need to drink my coffee and cheer up.
