there are two kinds of people in the world – those who believe that CO2 influenced climate change may be happening and those who do not.
Not quite...

There is AT LEAST a third type who DO believe that CO2 affects climate change, but that the population is TOTALLY unwilling and unable to make enough change to make a difference in our lifetime or the foreseeable future after that. The ONLY way to reduce CO2 emissions enough to have ANY discernible effect on the climate is to STOP MAKING ALL THOSE CARBON- AND SULFUR-BELCHING BABIES!

With the current type of world economy (based on CONSUMPTION and EXPANSION), there is NO WAY to make a difference in our "carbon" output significant enough to affect any climate change it may be causing. We are polluting the world in more ways than one. Only reduction of consumption and waste via reduction in consumer population can make a difference.

All these other measures are ONLY guvvamint-induced "feel-good" measures and taxes.
