Glenn Loury (this guy should be famous) does a great
job here of being unbiased not on AGW. It is worth listening to but the discussion was excessively
negative because they ignored a few things...
1. Nuclear power,
that is fusion nuclear more of non fossil fuel power is from nuclear.
“56
percent of France's installed generating capacity -- 63 GW
out of 112 GW -- is nuclear-based. 78 percent of the
electricity generated in France -- 419 TWh out of 537 TWh -- is
nuclear power.”
2. There are ways to
remove co2 from the air and keep it out for hundreds or thousands of
years. For example enhanced weathering, deep ocean iron fertilization
and biochar, even if those do not work there are other ways. Considering that you could pay out the proceeds for
removal of co2 from the air you could fly around and on fossil fuel
AND we could reach an equilibrium where the amount of co2 going into
the air is equal to the amount going into the air. AND IT MIGHT NOT
BE VERY EXPENSIVE, like maybe as low as $100/ton (which comes out to
about $1/gallon).
3. Geoengineering
which might be even cheaper than the above abatement or removal of
CO2 from the air. See here.
