It seems many people have become pessimistic that there will be any massive, mandatory reduction in carbon emissions. The failure of Copenhagen to produce a treaty and the continued resistance in the US to pass cap and trade are two prominent examples.
Might it be time to concede to resistant governments? And even if you don’t think the time has come to give up, I don’t think it can be argued that it will come soon: the longer we wait the more difficult a legislative solution will be. Once CO2 levels reach a certain point, a binding treaty will be close to useless.
So, what should be our plan B? If directly increasing the price of carbon is off the table, what other strategies could be used to significantly increase clean energy? Enormous subsidies for the best technologies? Should we pour unprecedented resources into funding the technical sciences at universities? Should a full blown “Manhattan Project” for nuclear fusion be considered? Or should we stop focusing on emissions altogether and give geoengineering top priority?
And no “a little of everything” answers, those are boring. If you had just one shot, one idea into which you would pool all available resources, what do you think would be the most effective and why?
Thank you Meadow.
Add REDD to the list.
