US & EU quietly begin to huff copium at an accelerated rate

Mf will do anything except acting against corporations

How about you send BP (and other petro companies) shareholders to solitary confinement instead of spending who knows how many billions to modify the atmosphere (which won't have any unintended consequences of course)

Because people bitch like hell whenever gas prices go up.

Environmental regulations have political backing when you can see the affects. Climate change is a lot less defined.

People are moaning about ULEZ zones and the electric car switchover in the UK, we're still doing them and ignoring the luddites. You could do the same in the US.

New York City is trying to put in a ULEZ zone into lower Manhattan right now, but it is taking a while and may end up with New Jersey suing New York City at some point.

Even then, the explicit goal of the zone is to raise money, not reduce emotions. I expect that a waiver for electric vehicles will not be provided.

More drastic suggestions will become common in the next few years. We won't stop BAU, so logically geoengineering comes next
