While it may seem appealing to wait until we know where the new jobs are going to be before we start moving away from the jobs the atmosphere can no longer support, developing such a ‘plan’ is a fool’s errand.

And we should not wait until we know where every worker will be working in 2020 before we start tackling climate change.
