Are you trolling? It just requires on the order of 1x GDP to install enough renewables and storage to start reversing climate change.
It is totally doable, but people are just trying to skirt the costs of climate neutrality.

Any serious attempt at producing grid storage would lead to shortages and increases in prices. This is why plans for a renewable grid assume that some heretofore unused storage mechanism - like hydrogen storage, compressed air, or giant flywheels - will make energy storage nearly free. Because existing storage mechanisms can't be produced at scale.
Past emissions will stay for centuries and increase heating globally for centuries to come.
All the reports stop at 2050 to 2100, but none of them have any sort of peak temperature in sight.
The extremes of today are only the very beginning.
I am all in for green energy but we have to be honest and estimate well, otherwise we will simply continue as we are now (if not make matters worst)
Easier? Most of stuff that is supposed to be recycled ends up in landfills.
Every 1kwh produced by a windmill is 1kwh less of oil being burnt. We don't exactly have an abundance of energy at the moment, there's no excuse not to be diverting vast amounts of planetary resources into renewable production.
