  1. I am fully convinced that the human race will go extinct long before the lifespan of the sun becomes a concern. It maybe far sooner than that. But I doubt we will go extinct anytime soon.

  2. Decoupling sounds a lot more feasible and pleasant.

  3. I wouldn’t say we need “degrowth” what we need instead is a shift in priorities and mindset and how we measure success. A carbon tax is a good first step. Building nuclear power plants with a plan to phase out coal and natural gas soon after that. Invest in better urban planning and mass transit as well as electric vehicles, electric stoves, and even electric heating. The economy may grow or it may shrink. The important thing is making sure everyone has food on their table, a roof over their heads, that young people can be educated, the sick and lame cared for, and the elderly able to retire with dignity. A quality of life that is just as good or better with net zero emissions. It may sound impossible but it’s a worthy goal and it should direct our policy decisions.
