You seem to be implying that percentage is unimportant. I'm curious why? It seems reasonable to me that as our power needs increase, all sources will increase - as long as we continue to grow renewable use relative to the others, isn't that good? Obviously there's a discussion to be had about how quickly renewables are growing, but this just doesn't seem like a very generous framing of the situation.
- lm28469 2y agoIt's important because we emit too much co2, for a while now, so adding green enegery on top doesn't change the fact that we are utterly fucked. Even if we were 99% renewable we'd still be fucked if we produced as much co2 as today
- metalman 2y agoNo.This has nothing to do with averages or proportions.Its a done deal. Per capita energy use (world) will continue to climb,atmospheric CO2(etc) will continue to climb. Runnaway, global warming, fueled climate change, will happen, on this, our only world. The degree to which this effects any indivual, on the other hand, will have many variables.
