  >Actually the emissions and environmental damage are ongoing, and we need to stop doing them or the end result will be much worse. Things already are the way they are and the way things are going to be in the intermediate future is already predictable. >Personally I think we should change our behavior that will lead to wars, famines, and suffering. Oftentimes this is more of a matter of exchanging one cause for another. Global austerity and dramatic changes in energy sourcing and production would also cause... wars, famines, and suffering. And the solution is essentially already here. Solar is among the cheapest energy sources and growing dramatically and battery tech is at the point where it can replace fossil fuels for all sorts of transport and mobile energy/work needs. The best we can do is accelerate the growth of these things a little bit more, but in reality we can only make a small difference, new technologies grow at the rate they grow.
