As long as you don't mind paying the costs of carbon footprint reduction in every product that you buy ...
My utility bill shows a charge equal to 2% for "energy efficiency" what ever the hell that is. Every product you buy requires some form of energy to grow, manufacture or process, distribute and dispose of as waste.
It would not surprise me if the average household is spending $400 to $2,000 on these related costs.
What will the additional costs be to the USA, Canada, the EU? Some of the natural resource exporting countries have especially large carbon footprints. Then there all all the peasants of the world that burn wood for cooking and heating. How will they pay? They cannot afford modern lowered carbon energy. How will the Chinese pay with the high emission transportation and utility industry fuels in use?
We cannot save half the world from a global event.
