Can we agree on reducing fossil fuel consumption by 90%? I tend to agree that a literal total end to fossil fuel consumption is impractical (even though it is necessary, we need alternatives that we don't have at scale yet or else we will have deaths at a massive scale).
But a good first step is to make our consumption a tenth of what it is today.
