I recently put a mere 6 solar panels on my south roof. During the shortest days of the year I have cut my electricity supply bill to about 35 bucks a month. While solar and wind can't give us 100% they can make a big dent and we won't have to blow the tops off mountains in WV to get coal. After tax breaks it only cost me about 5k for the panels. 11 k before the tax breaks.

CO2 is plant food. Via photosynthesis, plants take in this colorless, odorless gas and output oxygen. Severe restrictions on CO2 production will cause food shortages while impacting temperature rise by only a tiny amount - way less than a degree Celsius. And even though CO2 is rising steadily at about 2-3 ppm each year, careful measurements of sea level rise show about 3mm per year average, and not accelerating. Adaptation to this small rise is really not a significant problem. Finally, there is no credible evidence that man made CO2 causes "weather weirding". But several studies show more people die in cold spells than do in warm spells.

By 2030 no one will be living in New York, so meeting that goal will be no problem.

By 2030 we will be living in floating bubbles high in the stratosphere, so none of this 'carbon' stuff will matter.
