I doubt that politicians truely understand the problem at hand, it is not as if we have a new energy technology ready to fill in for fossil fusl at the present time and whilst I am sure than energy efficiency can reduce carbon emissions by around 25 % it will be left to the markets to decide this and that means awaiting the onset of peak fossil fuels to push up the price of it that will make other energy sources more viable.

And that is why I believe part of any solution means reforming today's complicated mix of incentives to make the commercialization and use of new, lower emission technologies more competitive.

A recent study by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard shows broad misunderstanding, particularly of how the long - lived nature of the main heat - trapping gas, carbon dioxide, means that deep reductions in emissions would be required — not merely a slowdown — to stabilize the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere, no matter what concentration is deemed «safe.»

What I am saying is that it makes no sense at all to hand - wave at the effects of uncontrolled volcanic eruptions as «absolute proof» that geoengineering schemes «can work», while promoting a gradual 50 - year phaseout of GHG emissions (which is too slow to have any hope of preventing catastrophic outcomes) as «logical» (whatever that means) and ignoring the multiple studies that show we can easily phase out emissions in a fraction of that time with the proven technologies that are already at hand.

That is why I believe part of any solution means reforming today's complicated mix of incentives to make the commercialization and use of new, lower emission technologies more competitive.

To minimize these impacts we need a target to keep temperature rise as far below 1.5 °C as possible; with ambitious, equitable, and fair sharing of emissions cuts; and accompanied by the means of implementation (climate finance, technology, capacity building) necessary to meet this target.

This means that a carbon budget for the next couple of decades may have inbuilt assumptions around longer term efforts to mitigate emissions, including deployment of technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Combining carbon capture technology in coal plants with the specific usage of CO2 in the oil sector means that capturing CO2 turns into a profitable business in itself while providing an effective incentive for reducing emissions.

Net - negative emissions technologies, which feature quite heavily in the IPCC's modelling [xvi], are not expected to feature until the second half of the 21st century, by which point the political and economic landscape may mean these technologies are feasible.

All told, the growth of zero - emission energy technologies means the industry will tackle pollution faster than generally accepted.

Humans are developing technologies and means to improve lives while reducing environmental impacts even as humanity is increasing greenhouse gas emissions and worsening climate catastrophe risks and impacts.

Possessing just 25 % of the world's population but 75 % of its atmosphere was innately unjust and it means that developed countries need to make many more deeper and faster cuts in their emissions today while providing finance and technology to developing countries to help them cut theirs.

That means that high efficiency low emissions (HELE) coal technology and carbon capture use and storage (CCUS) must be recognised as essential mitigation technologies.»

Even scarier is the fact that, while most geoengineering boosters see these technologies as a means of buying time for the world to get its act together, others promote them as a substitute for cutting emissions.

Many experts say this means the only way to affordably speed the transition to low - emissions energy is with advances in technologies at all stages of maturity.

But low gas prices and the emergence of SMR meant this technology became less fashionable during an era when carbon emissions were not a consideration.

If some kind of political change makes governments serious about hitting the 1.5 — 2.0 ËšC temperature targets from the Paris Agreement, it will mean doing everything possible to rapidly reduce emissions, from imposing high carbon prices to mandating the abandonment of especially harmful technologies and practices like burning coal and using exceptionally filthy fuel for international maritime shipping.

The department's detailed guidance, titled «Coal - Based Power Plants of the Future,» says that projects should have at least 40 percent efficiency and «must be carbon capture ready,» though they do not actually have to include carbon - capture technology, a process meant to minimize emissions of greenhouse gases.

Going all out on the hard front end emissions reductions provides these reductions when needed most and also means less low carbon technologies need to be implemented as replacements, thereby reducing the carbon expenditures that will be required for the implementation.

The failure to actually reduce global emissions has meant that all possibilities are now on the table, including some that sound like premises from a science - fiction novel: Humans could sequester carbon dioxide by removing it from the air through technologies that mimic trees, or we could spray water droplets in the lower atmosphere to reflect light and heat back to space, or we could seed sulfur aerosols in the stratosphere to do the same.
