I thought of one example

I thought of one example under Agriculture, methane from cows, the other day when I posted a news item....people in the 1st world are using less dairy and red meat, this is hurting ye olde dairy industry something sad and fearsome. Reminded me back in the day, especially being from the dairy state, Wisconsin, I remember how they had awesome power themselves, because every boomer kid had to have a milk carton on his lunch tray or it was the end of the world. If the dairy farmers didn't like the prices they were getting, they'd go "on strike" by dumping the milk, and they'd get their way because: people thought it a necessity. It may take a long time, but people's habits and requirements can change. Who said humans absolutely required cow's milk to grow, why did we buy that? It's not in the Bible or the Ten Commandments.

Great. Got a way to go of

Great. Got a way to go of course.

Electricity only accounts for about one quarter of greenhouse gas production globally. For US economic sectors, the EPA has (still? what's going on?) a greenhouse gas page.

Emissions don't have to be totally eliminated though, hopefully we can knock down each sector enough to stabilize CO2.

Awesome.As in the classic

Awesome.As in the classic meaning of the word: struck with awe. I think sometimes us news junkies ignore enormous changes like this which are reported more in business news at risk of big picture understanding of why there is such political upheaval. Economic factors that are hugely important are changing rapidly and radically everywhere. What we are living through is far bigger than the Industrial Revolution.
