Stop consuming what exactly? Shelter, climate control, transportation, food? It is not like Starbucks and luxury handbags are causing the bulk of emissions.

  > Shelter, climate control, transportation, food Yes, those seem like some good things to work on reducing the impact of.

    Reducing the impact of those things by making people poorer is very different than reducing the impact by innovation. Degrowth is never going to fly.

      Give me a better alternative that avoids 2 degrees of warming, then. Burden of proof is on you at this point. "Innovation" had 50 years to work, and did nothing to get us out of this.

        Innovation so far is what made things worse, not better.

        That's not how burden of proof works.
        • Paul-Craft 3y ago
          It is, unless you think the last 50 years somehow didn't happen. We knew exactly what would happen then, and did nothing. Innovation, my ass.
