Yes. I personally would like to see a program of shutting down the worst polluters first, then gradually all fossil fuel generating station in the space of a decade.
Cap and Trade did work on sulphate emmissions. However, the European version on CO2 emmissions has not worked at all.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. If we continue as we are, in a very short time we will find where the tipping points are. It won't be fun.
I would... whaaaaa?????
You want to shut down AALLLL fossil fuels inside of 10 years?????
Why oh why did you take the red pill?
Do you have any realization what kind of catastrophic event that would be? Have you even worked through some basic logistics of what would happen to the world if this was done?
This is kook level insanity! Pre fossil fuel cultures is the 1600's! You don't even get COAL! You're burning wood for heat, not solar, because you have no ability to make plastic anymore cause you've banned the use of fossil fuels. Just looking at the logistics and consequences of pulling this madness off should reveal how completely bankrupt this theory is intellectually and have every sane person running from it, screaming and frothing in fear.
Starvation and disease will become rampant across the world till the world population is reduced back towards a much smaller level. Billions will die. This is a positive? How the hell are you going to prevent this from happening if you DID such an insane thing?
Thank you for exemplifying why the root of environMENTALism is nihilistic/suicidal insanity that is completely anti-human, anti-civilization and makes Mad King Ludd look like a piker.

You state that cap and trade worked on sulfur emissions. All I know is that they've been banned in the US. The mechanics of this, I've not scrutinized. That said, I cannot think of one POSITIVE or NEUTRAL benefit of the unregulated venting of the stuff. No animal or plant uses the stuff to my knowledge. To compare the two is a false argument in a vain attempt to legitimize insanity.

Blah! Tipping point my Aunt Fanny. I remember being in HIGH SCHOOL in the 1980's and seeing "we will run out of gas in 10 years if we don't stop eating meat" <pant..pant>!! Horsecrap. The history of the human race is quite good at finding the NEXT level of energy. There is an entire system of negative feedback built into the world structure to help motivate us to transfer over... it's called THE MARKETPLACE! Dun Dun DUNNNNN!!!!
Yes! Crazy as it may seem, when something gets harder to get... and more expensive to produce, the price of the product goes up. This puts pressure on people to start asking the question "what other options are there for CHEAP energy"? This is just the basic quest for efficiency, nothing more. The most use out of the least resources. It's a marvelous thing. Now sooooo many environazis throw on layers of conspiracy on how this is not the case, but you know what? That's their own psychosis filtering through basic economic laws in an effort to cover up aspects of reality they don't like.
This is also why green energy and renewable sources currently out there are miserable failures! They are NOT more efficient. They are not less expensive. The technology to make these dreams (which is at MINIMUM a 75 years away) possible and real has not been invented yet because we do not have the technological capability. To force the world on to something that is as stable as a log raft in a Lake Superior gale bodes of certain destruction for all on board.
So what will make green energy viable? Profitability and proof it can be produced cheaper than current forms of energy. WHEN that happens you will see mankind shift to it en masse, but it will not move before then, nor should it. You cannot change the foundations of society on a ******* whim of nuts who Feeeeellll bad about the way society works.
You know what the most sane thing you can do if you want to get rid of Oil in the space of a decade??? Invent something better. People will make you a trillionaire and you will have accomplished it's goal. Fill the mantra of "Bigger, better, faster, cheaper" and you will succeed. Till then. You're nuts to demand the change.
