In order to reverse the CO2 production of an ever increasingly modern world (modern life styles require energy and produce CO2) would cost trillions of dollars and hamper economic growth for a generation. It would do a lot worse than "hamper economic growth". The only other option is to shrink the world’s population - and that is not going to happen. Maybe it will. It takes (realistic) energy to grow food. Without such energy, much less food. Without food, people die. Of course the more radical of the ecofreaks, the ones who think that humans are a cancer on the earth, would welcome this scenario. One thing good about the current financial crisis is it has forced the delay of expensive and useless caps on CO2 production... ...The current economic situation has thankfully delayed any talk from the Democrats of such nonsense. I wouldn't bet on this either. With Obama and Pelosi and Reid running the show, one can bet with 100% certainty that more stupid and destructive policies are in the offing.
