Not suggesting that we shouldn't!
Merely suggesting that the predicate of this opinion piece (that the future will be radically and suddenly unlike the past) is unreasonable.
The world will continue to decarbonize, but no economy is waking up tomorrow and saying "Surprise, market! We decarbonized overnight and banned fossil fuels."
- polotics 3y agoWell no, this is not how countries will decarbonise. What will happen is some net fossil-fuel exporters will become net importers. Like for example the UK with natural gas. These changes somehow will still come as surprises, their impact will get misattributed, sudden (and unreasonable) things will happen. More I cannot predict.
