Where, exactly, did you hear this?

A "pet theory" is how you basically describe the entire scientific concept of green house gasses and global warming?

Please don't take me out of context. The pet theories I'm talking about, are ones like reducing consumption of all types of energy, period, will a silver bullet that solves the climate change issue, or Malcolm Light's belief that all life will be extinct my mid-century, etc.

Forgive me for extrapolating that in order to reduce atmospheric carbon, we have to actually reduce carbon emissions.

Yes we do, and in fact, I never implied otherwise. But we don't have to stop consuming ALL energy, just those forms of it which are causing major pollution in the atmosphere such as coal, gas, or petrol. And while stopping consumption of these certain fuels would indeed be beneficial in the long run, I've come to the conclusion that the time has passed for that alone to be fully effective, and that we'll also need to consider carbon sequestration as well; planting trees, especially ones such as mangroves, would be a good start.
