Climate change is not just about science:it’s about the future we want to create

BTW, here is a related article from some folks at Google who were involved with its "moonshot" renewable energy program, "What It Would Really Take to Reverse Climate Change".

The main thesis:

"Today’s renewable energy technologies won’t save us. So what will?"

The one point I think most can agree on: coal is not a desirable power source.

What we need is a crash program to replace baseline coal power with next-gen nuclear, and ideally before too long, LFTR. That would clean up the air a great deal, regardless of the impact of CO2.
