You want to fight the CO2 that does the warming, that's an elite thought which generates itself in elite and rich areas such as California and New York.
I meant it as a way to fight the CO2 which causes cancer and respiratory problems, so you move the large emissions to unpopulated areas and then use high voltage to bring electricity in populated areas.
The rest of the world wants to fight pollution, only the elites want to fight climate change because their wealth affords them to focus on problems and time horizons which are simply not relevant nor accessible for the rest of the world.

And besides in general people living in bubbles of wealth rarely are conscious about being in them or the priorities of people outside such bubbles. If you asked a billionaire they'll probably perceive themselves as the underdogs fighting for the forgotten men and women, oh wait the #1 person on Forbes shouts and whines about being an underdog fighting for the forgotten men and women each day, multiple times per day.
