It costs zero dollars to reduce CO2, as it's economic activity which is driving it. Therefore the way to reduce CO2 emissions is to live in poverty and don't have many children.
It's an intractable problem at the moment, which is why various "genius" schemes to address it have failed. Heck, the most effective thing to date to reduce CO2 emissions occurred by chance (or accident) when the WuFlu decimated the global economy.
As always, I'm not arguing for ignoring the situation or do nothing, just saying only a great fool believes in benevolent genius leadership, and spending your way out of an extremely complex problem. Any effective strategy must incorporate fundamental human motivation or it will be doomed to failure.

1) 'Solving' the climate crisis was always the easy part.
2) As with anything else, you'd defer to those with the specialized knowledge.
3) You'd do what works.

4) The real challenge has been the 'implications' of the solution, as borne out in the PBS FRONTLINE special.
5) I can confidently surmise that all your reservations about climate 'solutions' were crafted by the people who are showcased on the program, paid for by the people showcased on the program.
6) The 'fundamental human nature' aspect will fall to the same type of people who crafted climate denial.
7) 72-hours is all they need. You can see it with what the media did with Ukraine.
8) The market place is where it's going to happen or not.
