The way you (as well as most people) frame this, means there is no solution. If the world can't refrain from using more and more energy, then the world is doome

The way you (as well as most people) frame this, means there is no solution. If the world can't refrain from using more and more energy, then the world is doomed.
If we want to slow down global warming, we need to stop burning fossil fuel right now.
Hoping for a technical breakthrough of infinite "free" energy that would not only allow us to consume more, but also to do efficient carbon capture, is magical thinking.
It may happen! But it most probably won't, and we should be preparing for when it doesn't. The fact that we don't, and we keep waiting for a miracle that would be just around the corner, is pathetic.
- goatlover 5y ago80% of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels, so we can't just stop, or civilization comes to a halt and people starve and riot. There's 7.8 billion of us now. That energy has to first be replaced by wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, electric transportation, etc.
