I don't agree with the authors premise that there's "a way out" per se, this is not a science or engineering problem, if it was we would have solved it long ago. It's a human behavioral issue (as is pollution, environmental degradation, species loss, resource depletion, inequality etal) linked to greed, apathy and entitlement and short of us evolving into a new species, how to address that seems an issue we haven't much broached, aside from the various "eat the rich" memes but it's interesting to see more voices calling out the nonsense of COP and suggesting alternate approaches.
We still believe in gods and shoot each other about artificial boundaries like children drawing a line in the sandbox, what hope mutual agreement on massive emissions reductions ?
