U.S. climate envoy John Kerry on Tuesday said he believed the private sector was more likely to find solutions to climate change than government.

“The solution is going to come from the private sector, and what government needs to do is create the framework within which the private sector can do what it does best, which is allocate capital and innovate and begin to take the framework that’s been created. ... We need to go after this as if we’re really at war.”

    I’m just going to wait for someone to invent a magical non-carcinogetic cigarette instead.

    I mean, those are all the rage nowadays...

      Yeah, but just like climate change solutions and ICE alternatives, they were invented in the early 20th century and then covered up. They've also known since 1798 that smoking causes cancer.
