Green Energy policies should really only be about preserving local greenery.

Attempting to stop climate change is the height of folly. You wouldn't be able to do anything comprehensive and useful without threat of war.


Carbon exporting/ demand for fossil fuels being FAR greater then supply means that all you do by giving up cheap energy is allow that cheap energy to be used by others.

 

It's like trying to save yourself a slice of pizza at a college frat party.  It's now or never for that Pizza.

Pretty much this. I'd be much happier with a $50 billion commitment to fusion research, and a stopgap plan to expand nuclear fission capacity.

The last few big conferences have proved even modest global emissions cuts are impossible to agree, much less enforce.
