I must confess to a liking for practical, focused, elegant solutions – even to big problems like global warming. 

And so when Myles Allen says that fossil fuel companies should be decarbonizing the fuels, it is such a clear and practical idea. Much easier to grasp than that rather vague phrase about ‘decarbonizing the economy’ (although fossil fuels are not the only source of the emissions that are warming our climate – agriculture contributes a fair amount, too).
