Here Dave succinctly repeats his own logical fallacies.

There may indeed be "bigger targets". But even a 100% reduction total
(elimination) of any one or two or five of the "bigger targets" will not
achieve the total energy and CO2 reduction needed. The solution will lie in
making reductions wherever and whenever possible.

Sober business owners and leaders, scientists, politicians, administrators,
journalists, and others that Dave maligns with regularity recognize that
there is often no single, simple fix to complex problems whether they be in
business, science, law or other human endeavors.

Dave Houston also demonstrates once again that his approach to a serious
problem is to create straw men with which to mount an self-serving, illogical
and specious attack on those who actually understand the issues and are
trying to implement actual solutions.
