Okay, but is there a reason you're not talking about that, other than that it is bad for your argument?
> Even if we get to the point that the world emits 18 billion tons of CO2 per year instead of the 36 billion we do at present, the climate will continue to warm, and so you'll have spent all this time, money, and effort and still be where we are today anyway.
Warming isn't binary. Dumping twice as much CO2 into the atmosphere isn't the same thing as half.
> So when we're talking about stopping all greenhouse gases and preventing further warming of the planet, you're going to necessarily cripple economic output
Is this just a feeling? Seems unmotivated by the rest.
