Flat Earth Climate

I was visiting The Reference Frame where Lubos was talking about the changes required to become 100% carbon free by 2030 and came across this gem:

All industry and traffic will have to be converted to a new kind of energy that either doesn't exist today or looks economically or socially unacceptable. Agriculture, transportation, and industry represent significant fractions of the greenhouse emissions and the basic nature of all of them will have to be radically changed. That won't be enough because even breathing and grilling parties produce carbon dioxide. These processes will have to be banned, too, much like alcohol fermentation, cement production, and dozens of other processes.

How is this complete destruction of our civilization justified? Well, those people think that this radical step will lead to a
Flat Earth's Climate (thanks, moptop).
Well I added some emphasis. And capitals.

That just about sums it up. Flat Earth Climate.

You missed emphasizing the best part:

Idiots.

Today was predicted to be close to record high temps as our "heat wave continues to scorch the central valley..." [radio weather forecast from about 12 hours ago].

Outside temp is now (2:55 PDT) 72 with a low heavy cloud cover hinting at more of the rain that occurred unexpectedly earlier today. I'm above valley floor elevation, but given the forecast, a current temp of 88-90 would have been expected. Spare us from climate forecasters.

Avoid people wearing tinfoil.
