I can't imagine building subsidies and alternative fuels will undo the last 200 years of emissions. Structural changes that will reorganize our lives will be necessary. We are in a privileged position, in that we can make these structural changes in a favorable way now before we're faced with a reality that forces these changes on us.

Despite all I said above, I'm sceptical. People have an ugly and annoying tendency to ignore the truth until reality bites them into their asses. They neglect cancer prevention because the risks of getting are so low while in rwality they are just afraid of the results. And that is just one example.
