So the size of the pyramid is irrelevant.
surely the size of the pyramid in the next generation is utterly critical then? We're currently increasing CO2 at about 2.5ppm/year. The higher people * standard of living (controlling for CO2 intensity) is, the faster it will go up each year.
Don't we want to minimise the level it is at when we get to these hoped for net zero CO2 emitters so they're starting off with as low a level as practicable?
Especially given that doing so would guarantee a level of success with this issue....
To plough on without a care in the world because 'something's going to turn up tomorrow to sort it all out' feels like sheer stupidity to me, but hey ho....
