Not without lowering the standard of living for people in the first world. That, really, is main obstacle for any realistic climate solution. A full billion people will have accept at least some level of reduction in their standard of living if we are to avert a climate disaster. Of course, when the disaster comes that standard of living with be wrecked for all but the wealthiest among the first world anyway, so it’s fool hearty to try and work around it.
Yeah, that’s absolutely true. Unfortunately most people don’t want to think about the future consequently.
