Addressing climate change won't be easy

Abstract:
And it's worth remembering: it is not capitalism or economic growth in and of itself that has caused the problem in the first place; it is industrialization. Economic growth and the capitalism of the future may very well be based on wind power, nanotechnology, and high-tech computing instead of coal power plants and manufacturing plants -- but the transition is likely to be difficult. The longer we wait, the harder it will be.
