I'm not getting involved in the man-made or not man-made discussion but the status quo is the status quo for a reason.
The only time it changes easily is if the change improves it.
Frankly, the vast majority of people would much rather find a way to capture and eliminate carbon over doing the necessary things that are needed to really make a big dent into GHG emissions.
Luckily, those technologies are improving and a lot of that is because of the heavy investment from the O&G sector so don't paint them all as evil, polluting, capitalist pigs just yet.
