There's nothing wrong with wanting to be energy efficient but when that means telling developing nations like China and India that they are not allowed to burn as many fossil fuels as developed nations did when they were developing you're likely to get some pushback.
The only feasible solution to the problem is to find energy sources that produce at or above the levels the world requires today, but does so in a clean way. The only one that comes to mind for me is nuclear power.
- sageikosa 14y agoI agree that geo-political realities make any global coordinated attempts to alter real inputs to various climate models unfeasible. As long as people want to see their children grow up to prosper, they won't want to sacrifice for a foreigner's objective. It is the same principle that has caused indolent civilizations to fall to foreign aggressors, the one that doesn't follow the pattern wins. And not everyone will believe the enlightened creed of less is better.
