[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6681230, member: 54866"] The EU just came out and claimed they will be carbon neutral by 2050. They will of course either be knobbling their quality of life, their competitiveness or be merely exporting the problem or using 'carbon credits' if they do this. We need to make the poorest 20% of the world a heck of a lot richer and give them access to cheap energy as well. Do that and their birth rates will decline, their populations will plateau and more importantly they won't be so reliant on doing daft things to earn a shilling. The ONLY way is global trade so that all can prosper. Energy use in most of the Western world is declining over time due to improved technology and efficiency gains anyway. We need to access more advanced renewable technologies or seriously poke investment into nuclear power and we will be two-thirds of the way there. A fat Westerner can buy a more fuel efficient SUV all he likes and claim he is saving the world but my concern is for the millions of people world wide who don't even have access to a tenth of what we do in the West.
