There is a pretty simple and clear correlation between the increase in Co2 emissions from human activity and global temperature rise. The greenhouse effect of this seems pretty obvious even for someone that has a pretty basic understanding of the science. To deny it seems almost like denying knowledge of gravity, in my mind. There seems to be a lot of motivated reasoning at play in such denial.

My view is that we should move quickly to some sort of geo-engineering solutions to mitigate the effects, including finding ways to take carbon out of the atmosphere, because it seems as though our ability to curb emissions is a pretty difficult puzzle to solve.

I also believe in our economy we should position ourselves to be the ones leading that effort. There seems like there could be tremendous opportunity. If we are leaders in that effort, we could argue about being truly "carbon neutral", or even net carbon negative. That also buys our resource sector a lot of time.
