Document Summary
Leaders tend to ignore the warnings at first strengthen the enemy appease the enemy. Climate change can be avoided with fairly modest, politically feasible steps: simply implement obama"s plan for clean power, and to continue guiding the world as a whole towards sharp reductions in emissions . Enough landmass + raw materials to replace fossil fuel with renewables. Usa would need to produce 6,448 gw to completely replace fossil fuels: currently producing 16 gw per year, require 295 factories in total, 6 per state, building these factories doesn"t require any new technology. It was public capital that built factories and industries, not wall street (private companies) It would save lives: cut air pollution deaths by 4-7 million/yr, safer, better paying employment.
