WaPo pushes UN fantasy that climate change can be stopped for no cost:

The Washington Post editorializes:

The IEA argues there are things that governments can do between now and 2020, at no net economic cost,

at least to try to “keep the door open” to 2 degrees Celsius.
Retrofitting buildings and constructing better ones could reduce
emissions. More-efficient cars would help, too. These sorts of
investments would also save consumers money over time. Phasing out the
dirtiest coal-burning power plants would cut greenhouse emissions and
other pollutants. So, too, would inexpensively reducing emissions of
methane — itself a greenhouse gas — during oil and natural gas
production. And, of course, countries should stop encouraging fossil
fuel use by artificially lowering prices for the stuff, a problem here
that’s much worse in other countries.

In the United States at least, those policies seem achievable, even
without agreement among politicians on the scale of the climate problem.
