How strange it will seem to our grandchildren that some governments were willing to subject their population to a technological regression to reduce emissions, instead of taking the conveniences and productivity of modern society as beyond compromise, and determining how to push forward new technology to maintain it while eliminating carbon emissions. Once you decide it’s worth receding back to the caves to reduce emissions, however slightly, you have to wonder how slippery the slope is. Edit: To the downvoting conservationists: I support a carbon tax. I don’t support us clipping our own wings out of fear.
