Yeah, that is definitely a possibility and I've already heard rumblings of it in the alt-right orbit. Bannon is a little bit there. The way I see it, there is one and only one climate change solution: develop alternative sources of energy that are cheaper than coal, oil, and gas, and can scale more easily. Nothing else will work. If we can't do that we should prepare for much higher CO2 levels and all that comes with it. The good news is that solar/wind plus batteries could actually get us there if those costs keep falling rapidly as they have over the last decade. In the longer term I would not totally count out nuclear fission or fusion, though in the short term I think it would take too long to scale up the former and the latter is simply still R&D.
