The cause is our want for more energy.
Those means with which we make the fixes, will obviously have their own consequences. So we're not really fixing anything, more moving things around to fit our needs, while living on a planet that redistributes the wealth. We're like the banks, while the rest of life are the lowly citizen. We're too big to fail, the rest of life are losing their homes.

If we saw rising CO2 without rising temperatures, CO2 would have a different IR absorption profile. |
