Buddy, there is no room for compromise. Either we stop emitting CO2 soon or the climate is fucked beyond recognition. There is no middle ground. Obviously to way to stop emitting CO2 is not to ask everyone to live in mud huts and do subsistence agriculture from now on. Literally nobody proposes that.

Most would agree with this. Even school kids tell us that we should do this. The question to be answered is the 'How' ?

Please do enlighten me, how do you propose to stop using fossil fuel without giving up on energy needs of billions and derivative products like plastics and other things which are essential to humanity ?

Since last 4-5 comments you are saying that we should stop using Fossil Fuels. Great. Please explain the path forward.

Notice the fusion reactor in the sky? It provides us with essentially unlimited energy. We can synthesize all the hydrocarbons we need from water and carbon dioxide with it.

Ha ha ha .... Brilliant idea. Wonder why no one thought about it before.

Have a good day.
