> So if you're spending significantly more money overall on something in order to reduce your own carbon emissions, there's a pretty reasonable chance (barring any detailed analysis to prove otherwise) that the cascading effects of that spending are actually resulting in more carbon emissions in total than if you'd simply gone with the cheaper solution. Or you reduce your carbon and increase costs massively, but another country doesn't, and your industry dies while theirs flourishes.
