The policy problem with climate change is that human decision-making is based on immediate and short term factors involving one’s happiness and social status.

This is why AGW will never be a political driver.

Environmental concerns do at times become local or national political drivers - in the case of fracking, pouring polluted water out of the tap motivates communities to tackle this issue.

Yet an annual rise in global average temps by .02C is not noticeable by the human senses, and will not drive political change.

I’m afraid that the hole we are digging is unlikely to be filled smartly.

depends on who stands to profit…govt will not solve the problem, or even address it properly, that much we know already
