Yes, all that is true, but the fact is, it doesn't matter. There's no point in reducing CO2 levels. Even if we stopped emitting CO2 completely, NOW, down to 0%, no combustion of fuel AT ALL, it would still be thousands of years before CO2 levels reached pre-industrial levels. We've made our bed, now we have to sleep in it. Just get used to a radically altered ecosystem. It's too late now to fix it. We'll adapt, maybe live underground breathing taxable air. For billions of years, this is the way it has been. Hey, if the pre-Cambrian biota hadn't irrevocably polluted the atmosphere with oxygen, we wouldn't even have evolved. Tough luck for them, but we're on top now. Oh, the "conservatives" want to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to preserve the status quo. Good luck with that, conservatives. It's very expensive and produces no profit that you can use to redecorate your huge Central Park West apartment.

Go is quite nice. The compiler is very fast and strict, catching many errors. It really helps to write bullet proof code.
The language itself has many high level constructs, functional programming, multithreading is built in, objects, etc.
The runtime catches lots of errors, too, array bounds checking, for example. It's a well thought out language that is designed to help you avoid common mistakes. Yet it also has dynamic types and other powerful features. It's pretty neat.
