Environment & Energy

(4,795 posts)The only objectively demonstrable method of reducing atmospheric carbon thus far has been reducing the aggregate amount of energy consumed (while reducing carbon intensity of such energy has proven to be ineffective after a 40% reduction over the last few decades).
If wealth is an abstract representation of the net available energy that can be consumed, throttling that consumption level will reduce wealth most assuredly. If growth levels have a direct relationship to energy consumed (and they do), then throttling that consumption level will reduce economic growth most assuredly.
So you must come to a point where you either are advocating for a reduction in growth & wealth, or you give-up since you realize the political unfeasibility of it all. So far, you are topically dancing around blunt truth.
