Then we're all on the same page. Something needs to be done and now, since (as you say) it will take many decades to fix.

We cannot have a sane policy on climate emissions as long as posturing know-nothings like saint greta are treated as if they have something useful to say. Emissions reductions are not under the control of governments. They depend on tech which does not really exist yet and no one knows if/when that tech will appear. The most governments can do is ensure there are no barriers to adoption. Any government that makes promises to reduce emissions by X by such as such a date is going to waste resources. It is this waste that I object to. Get rid of emission reduction targets and renewable mandates and I would be fine with a carbon tax.
