I believe reduction would certainly solve the problem. I just don't think it's possible to make happen (I elaborated on this further in the comment below). Is it possible the reason humans in the past didn't consume as much, was simply because they lacked the technology to allow them to? If you gave a human from 10,000 B.C. a private jet, while also telling him that jet is bad for the environment, that human would still be flying all over the globe in an instant. I don't think humans were somehow more morally conscientious in the past. And I'm not sure we should be aiming to head back to those "glory days" of 20 year lifespans and terrible infant mortality rates.
