How important is the Paris Treaty on Climate?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) March 24th, 2021

The question came to mind as I was reading a very interesting study this morning.

I was particularly struck by this paragraph:

”“We were pleasantly surprised that the cost of the transformation is lower now than in similar studies we did five years ago, even though this achieves much more ambitious carbon reduction,” said Torn. “The main reason is that the cost of wind and solar power and batteries for electric vehicles have declined faster than expected.”

The study, for the few of you who may actually want to educate yourselves, is at:
https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2021/01/27/getting-to-net-zero-and-even-net-negative-is-surprisingly-feasible-and-affordable/

To me, personally, the study is an example of free enterprise in action. Economics is driving the transition, not governments. And certainly not a super government that any international organization becomes.
