Recent declamations from climate science - particularly the UN report - give the strong impression that “reducing [our energy supply’s] carbon footprint” does not match the urgency of the crisis.<p>Most economic and geopolitical boons promised by this proposal are also obtainable by dramatically increasing investment in and adoption of carbonless energy (nuclear, ‘green’).<p>Moreover these technologies would free future generations from geopolitical imperatives arising from control and transport of oil and gas. Over the long term, I expect North America is no less likely to suffer instability on this count than Eurasia has proven.
A serious proposal only to that steadily-shrinking subset of the population who are still in denial about the impact of CO2 emissions on global climate!<p>Perhaps this "Doomberg" is trolling? I can't tell.
