#yiv3126774679 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}I wonder where he gets his
numbers. He seems to have pulled them out of his head. He assumes that China,
India, Latin America and Africa will do nothing to change and grow greener. As
I have said frequently, if no one starts, we will [or our children will] all
die. As he says, a major part of the answer is to make green energy cheaper
than fossil fuels. Necessity is the mother of innovation. Petroleum is close
to exhaustion. It is not an infinite resource. That leaves a choice between
coal and green. You choose.If you pay attention, many of the refugees to the
temperate zones are fleeing unsurvivable conditions, aka the results of that
unfashionable phrase, Global Warming. In the continental US, there are
knowledgeable statements that cities like Phoenix will be uninhabitable within
the next 30 years.

And for what? If all the rich countries in the world were to cut their carbon
emissions to zero tomorrow and for the rest of the century, the effort would
make an almost unnoticeable reduction in temperatures by 2100.This is because
more than three-quarters of the global emissions in the rest of this century
will come from Asia, Africa and Latin America. These nations are determined to
lift their populations out of poverty and ensure broad development using
plentiful energy, mostly from cheap fossil fuels.The last 30 years of climate
policy have delivered high costs and rising emissions. The only reliable ways
to cut emissions have been recessions and the COVID-19 lockdowns, both of which
are unpalatable. Expecting nations to stop using cheap energy won’t succeed. We
need innovation.

actually need
Take the terrible air pollution in Los Angeles in the 1950s. It wasn’t fixed
by naïvely asking people to stop driving cars. Instead, it was fixed through
innovation — the catalytic converter allowed people to drive further yet
pollute little. We need to invest in research to make green energy much
cheaper: from better solar, wind and batteries to cheaper fission, fusion and
carbon capture.We should spend tens of billions to innovate the price of green
energy below fossil fuels. Spending trillions on enormous and premature
emissions cuts is an unsustainable and ineffective First World approach.

Just an opinion, right Bob?
