The great climate solution

Investment in green energy R&D is the most effective long-term policy for combating climate change. Breakthrough innovations that make green energy cheaper than fossil fuels would lead to widespread adoption without the need for subsidies or international agreements. This solution has been successful in the past, such as the discovery of oil that saved whales from extinction and the green revolution that increased food production. The key to addressing global warming is technological innovation to develop cheaper and less carbon-intensive technologies. While fracking has helped reduce coal consumption, it is not the ultimate solution as it still emits CO2.
