>Decreasing energy production and consumption is not a real solution.
To actually solve the problem we need to:
* Decrease carbon emissions to zero
* Get the excess carbon out of the atmosphere
* Do so while maintaining people alive and not in a state of revolt or starvation
With no energy we collapse. Merely decreasing carbon use by diminishing energy doesn't solve the problem. It just makes it get worse less quickly. It's like not having a job and budgeting more carefully while drawing down your savings. Sensible to be sure but the real solution is enabling us to have abundant energy from non carbon sources and putting atmospheric carbon back into the ground.
