I'm with you on the first part ("degrowth", at least in terms of energy consumption), but not on the second part. Since most CO2 is consumed by the relatively rich, just going Thanos and killing half of the earth wouldn't help if it was the poor half. Thus, we have to start consuming less. I feel like all the solutions right now are only band-aid and no one is honest enough to talk about the elefant in the room. The elefant is clearly saying we could consume less but we don't wanna. So we are still prioritising the present at the cost of the future. We try to have a little more luxury today but by doing this bring misery down the road. The narrative (and politics) has to change dramatically for us as citizens to change. Less consumption means a livable future.
