I’m on the run in New York City, speaking Friday at a NYU festival of ideas with Jonathan Watts and Genevieve Guenther on the complex life and lessons of James Lovelock - the Gaia pioneer and inventor of devices that helped reveal the CFC threat to the ozone layer (and also IRA bombs!).
When you start from anything but reduce net CO2 emissions at as low cost as possible, you will wind up with absurdities.
Poor African countries and rich North American countries should invest in energy according to cost benefit analysis, yes including an adjustment for the cost of CO2 emissions that on the margin will shift choices away from fossil fuels (and away from Coal more than away from gas), but at the end of the day, that is just one factor. It definitely does NOT mean zero CO2 emissions or nothing.
