Good article. The author basically says that we need not despair about anthropomorphic climate change. On the contrary, we can economically exploit it by making green energy alternatives profitable. We have the technology. We have the resources. We have the human labor.

What we don’t have is the will to dump the shackles of stupidity and ideology.

So it is with all of our major problems as a species.
