And remember, it's much more expensive to spend a dollar now than spend a dollar in 50 years, so I believe that right now the best course of action regarding CO2 is to delay action. Our grandparents didn't make huge sacrifices to their lifestyle to solve some vague very long range problem that might not even turn out to be important so lets do the same. I say let your grandchildren solve their own damn problems just as we did, and besides, they will have much better tools to fix things if they need fixing than we do.
