Heterogeneity is the problem and so the answer

It's not true that industrialised and domestic fossil fuels are the whole problem. We sometimes get that impression in the developed world. But it's more complicated than that.

in the UK, a developed nation where co2 is far more than 65% and transport and electricity are by far the largest emitters. In the developing world land use change, agricultural emissions of ch4 and n20, and emissions from cement manufacture are far larger than I had realised. Climate change is a far more heterogeneous issue than we would like to think. An energy sector based on renewables will not in itself be sufficient to save us there are very many diverse processes that we have to deal with.

Thanks for clearing that up.
