IN an ideal world this would be great however no country is willing to go through any pain to transition. So the only way out is for the non CO2 tech to be cost competitive with CO2 tech. So engineering needs to advance. There is no political solution. The incentives aren't there to make it happen.
So I think we need to start geo-enginneering solutions to climate change while we hope technology can catch up and save us.
