depends what type of fusion design.
I suspect that if the rocket was launching from a pad [...]

How do global warming predictors derive the growth rate of emissions?

Are they just an extrapolation of past to current trends?
Do they consider the constraint on population growth caused by a fixed supply of resources?
Our population is so big now and is rapidly approaching its limit.

What is the conservative alternative solution to carbon emissions?

Conservatives oppose cap and trade, a measure which will gradually reduce green house gasses to just above pre-industrialization levels. However they propose no alternatives. How would conservatives go about reducing carbon emissions.
Man made global warming is not true. Therefore, there is no need to reduce carbon emissions.

Why [...]
