Parent comment does not say that their preffered, nonetheless the only way to "leave the fossil fuels in the ground" is to pass laws mandating that, nor that they favor a "destroy capitalism first" approach. Leaving fossil fuels in the ground by say encouraging the adoption of another energy source like solar has thus far been a successful strategy.
- nickpinkston 2y agoThe people publishing books using the term "degrowth" (Jason Hickel, etc.) do call for destroying capitalism and believe fighting for climate change isn't compatible with growth. Green growth people (like myself) argue that we can grow without incurring the negative carbon impacts given proper policy / tech. We very much want solar, etc. technologies that do this. Degrowth isn't the solution.
