The question is not how to stop climate change: that's impossible at this point. The actual debate is if we want an affordable climate change or a catastrophe. In the first scenary, with a global warming below or equal to 2ºC, adaptation is plausible. With a global warming above 2ºC you better rent a spaceship or something. On the other hand, do you know cheap solutions to great challenges? Aren't bailouts prohibitively expensive? Tecnologies will be cheaper in the future but it's needed a great investment at the beginning, that's unescapable. One of these days this issue will occupy the central place in the political agenda, but maybe too late. Then we will be really screwed.
