I don’t think the result would be good. All that would do is destabilise the world crash our economies and set back our green tech.

Crashing the economy has historically been the most efficient way of reducing CO2 production.

I'm not sure. It might wind things back a bit for a short time. But during a time of economic down turn the environment becomes a low priority for a lot of people. Then when things recover there is no guarantee that things will be done any better. I'm of the opinion that we need stable governments and economies to tackle this problem.
