Consequently there is a push to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> and other emissions to slow, if not reverse, that warming. That push is used to promote the large-scale development of wind energy and to overcome objections of cost and adverse environmental effects, as well as to avoid questions of actual benefit.<ref>[[Carbon emissions]]</ref> | Consequently there is a push to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> and other emissions to slow, if not reverse, that warming.
