The problem is not necessarily lunatics who deny the reality of AGW, but energy companies, industry, and their political agents who have known the reality for over half a century. Lunacy was purposefully propagandized and indoctrinated to protect their power.

We are past the window for incentives -- we have sufficient observation of how individual incentive-guided action plays out in a finite world built of externalities. We are in the window for action: nationalization/collectivization of the offenders, forfeiture of their assets, and redirection into massive creation of renewables, sustainable industry, carbon capture/mitigation, and global relief for the people displaced and impoverished by climate and food disruption.
