Progressives Reject Market-Ready Solutions

Despite their dire warnings, however, leftists have been oddly reluctant to fully embrace policies that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although progressives have advocated for renewables such as solar and wind power, they often oppose any increase in nuclear power, a carbon-neutral and readily accessible energy source. The far-left also disparages natural gas usage, despite the fact that the transition from coal to natural gas has lowered greenhouse gas emissions by 13% since 2005. One would expect, at least in the short term, environmentalists to embrace nuclear and natural gas as part of a greener energy portfolio, with a corresponding reduction in coal consumption.

Human activity has no significant effect on the world climate. However, the world is starving from a shortage of carbon dioxide in the air. Coal-fired electrical plants and industries in China and India have to some small degree compensated for this lack of CO2 in our atmosphere, but we could use much, much more of it if we are to get its greatest benefits, which include taller, stronger forests, expanded grasslands, shrinking deserts and higher-yield food crops. The US and Europe should immediately began producing electricity by burning coal. If stack scrubbers are used, the only results will be beneficial to the global ecosystem.
