  1. Sorry to burst your bubble, but some of this is playing frame-games to make it look better than it is. We've GREATLY increased our USE of energy beyond what anyone expected, in part due to inventing new ways to waste energy. so we've actually ACCELERATED our production of greenhouse gases IN SPITE OF renewables! Fossil fuel use CONTINUES TO RISE despite adoption of green energy (which aint always that green). focusing on investment in alternative energy is missing the forest for the trees - our appetite for fossil fuels is getting WORSE not BETTER. Look it up. That and stampeding deforestation continues apace. It slowed for a minute, but still unsustainable and dangerous. It is not possible to plant enough trees by humans to counteract this, automation has made deforestation faster and faster. Some of this 'good news' are actually grifts, 'maladaption' that makes it worse, like all the 'tree farming' scams and fake carbon offsets. Capitalism IS a cult of infinite growth on a finite planet, and serious science journals like Nature are concluding that we have to embrace a degrowth economy - forget the semantics, whatever you call it, degrowth is complete reform of the economic system and necessary for survival. Capitalism-as-usual will kill us for sure.
