   Actually, we don't.  There's no way in hell to get the CO2 down to a   
   sufficiently low level to keep what's about to happen from happening   
   without screwing up millions of lives, which includes a lot of deaths   
   from lack of the resources that would otherwise be produced by the   
   activities that now produce the CO2 but would have to be eliminated -   
   power generation, transportation, etc.

   If we had the capability, we wouldn't have to be doing experimentation.   
    Having to experiment implies not knowing how to do what you're wanting   
   to do.

   No they don't - they just don't want the greater catastrophe to happen,   
   which would be world economic collapse, while still not achieving   
   anywhere close to what is necessary to solve the GW problem.
