So here's one way to think about it, which is that we just do this instead of cutting emissions because it's cheaper.

So because of this, we could deal with the problem simply by stopping reducing emissions, and just as the concentrations go up, we can increase the amount of geo-engineering.

Let's say that we don't do geo-engineering, we do what we ought to do, which is get serious about cutting emissions.

So let's say that we work hard, and we actually don't just tap the brakes, but we step hard on the brakes and really reduce emissions and eventually reduce concentrations.

And the problem is the following: knowledge that geo-engineering is possible makes the climate impacts look less fearsome, and that makes a weaker commitment to cutting emissions today.

I think there is a serious problem: as you talk about this, people begin to think they don't need to work so hard to cut emissions.

We have a population that's both growing and aging; we have seven billion souls today heading to 10 billion at the end of the century; we consume natural resources faster than they can be replenished; and the emissions that are mainly responsible for climate change just keep increasing.

I want to step back, and I want to bring up the concept of negative emissions again.

Negative emissions require that the CO2 separated be permanently removed from the atmosphere forever, which means putting it back underground, where it came from in the first place.

But we were also interested in understanding what the home's digital emissions look like to the internet service provider.

And more than that, the emissions of greenhouse gases would rise, with immense risks to our climate.

In the next five or six years, they will likely move from around 20 percent in renewables — wind, solar and so on — to over 33 percent, and that would bring California back to greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to where they were in 1990, a period when the economy in California would more or less have doubled.

We're not cutting emissions in the way we should.

Seventy-five percent of global energy consumption occurs in our cities, and 80 percent of gas emissions that cause global warming come from our cities.

One is how we need to use market-based pricing to affect demand and use wireless technologies to dramatically reduce our emissions in the transportation sector.

We need to reduce C02 emissions in ten to fifteen years by 80 percent in order to avert catastrophic effects.

The demand for parking, of course, is down, congestion and the CO2 emissions.

There is a tool that can help us bridge the digital divide, respond to emergencies, get traffic moving, provide a new engine for economic growth and dramatically reduce CO2 emissions in every sector.
