If governments were effective a rewards system would be created.
Invent a system where carbon would be extracted from CO2. One billion dollars hard, cold cash reward after examination by an accreditation committee made up of top scientists.
Yet another billion-dollar reward for a revolutionary process to convert raw carbon to a structural fabric. Steel requires an insane amount of energy and aluminum is four times as bad.
How much pollution is created to manufacture a ton of steel? Answer? Lots.
Healthy tax credits for intelligent insulation "R" improvements. Can you imagine the reduction in energy needed for a Delta T increase of 50F? Freezers in the tropics are forced to add METERS thick insulation to freezers. Why not improve the strength of plastic so it would withstand damage when used in building construction? I've seen how well vacuum panel insulation works in cruising sailboats. It replaces more than 6" thick insulation. How much air conditioning needed if it was incorporated in new vehicle construction? Microns thick gold repulses enormous passages of UV and infrared rays through the glass. Simply incorporate laws that demand laminated glass in homes and motor vehicles. The insulation works in both directions.
Lowbrow government cannot conceive of rewarding industry with tax cuts. inconceivable. Mention tax cuts to the four horsewomen of the apocalypse and an utterly insane response is guaranteed to be forthcoming.
This is why I have zero confidence in any existing government platform to genuinely affect emissions.
