The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

Although the cost gradients are now strongly in favor of renewables especially in places lacking power infrastructure, it probably won't be fast enough to stop the positive feedback loop of warming causing release of sequestered CO2(ie forests, permafrost, ocean). Removing enough CO2 from the atmosphere will probably require engineering solutions. Some younger generation folks are starting to guess that we're screwed so just party on and hope for the best.
