Here's a strong argument in favor of s l o w i n g d o w n . . .
_______________________________

Even if some degree of warming is inevitable, it is important that we reach it later rather than sooner. If we cannot fully avoid them, then we must decelerate our climate impacts.

Triggering any of the major tipping points — melting permafrost, sea-ice loss, or Gulf Stream collapse — is an irreversible, worst-case scenario. But there is a long way between a hot, unstable future and one in which complex civilization is impossible. Some worst-case scenarios are worse than others.

So what can we do to decelerate?

Replacing power generation with ‘green’ energy is still likely to have a heavy carbon cost, especially if we do it rapidly and with contemporary construction methods.

But this is only a problem if we subscribe to the cult that everything must expand, faster and forever. Maybe this lag period will give us time to reevaluate our priorities.

Do all energy demands even need to be replaced? Can we live better with less?
