CO2 reduction will happen one filthy, grotty transaction at a time. It'll take exactly as long as it will take and there's probably [sweet fanny adams] anyone can do about it, other than build a thing that helps it along.
I have living relatives who saw the transition from mules to tractors. It wasn't just nicer, it meant killing yourself much less slowly. Yes, they are that old, and they all look like tintypes from the 19th century - that gaunt, hollow look that working that hard gives you.

That's a pithy defeatist statement. Personally I got a job at a renewable energy company. There are many avenues you can take to help tackle climate change.
Excellent! Just please realize probably two-ten percent of the people I know were in alt. energy the first time around, after the Gas Scare in the 1970s. It just takes a while ( and the "defeatism" was just related to how long it will take.)
You proving me wrong would the best possible outcome.
Yeah, tell me about it! The urgency (or lack of it) is what drives me crazy. At least there is hope though, for example huge changes are happening now in China at a crazy pace. I hope it won't be too little too late, the magnitude of what we need to do is daunting.
