@AspenProposal #Degrowth is a great destination, what is the point of the Aspen Proposal? The 200-500 year time horizon is pointless, for good or ill this will be resolved in 50.Work on the practical steps to transition and implementation is where the focus needs to be, and many degrowth researchers, and activists, are working on it.

@lowqualityfacts We could all go back to times with lower CO2. I knew my private jet was the solution!

@kravietz Many years ago, during the "Peak Oil" discussions, the coal problem became blindingly obvious to me.People discussed the number of years or perhaps decades that oil and gas would last, but it was known then that we had >300 years of coal.We knew coal was cheap and the worst/dirtiest source of energy for power and industrial heat. We knew USA, China and Germany burned loads of it and they continue to do so. On its own coal use like this means game over for our ecosystem.#StopCoalI really don't care if new energy sources are Solar, Wind or Nuclear - the more the better to help improve the lives of billions*. But more clean energy doesn't mean less GHG on its own. We have to tax GHG emissions to extinction.* #Degrowth

@kravietz To clarify Richard's point, your post is all utter rubbish. Every single point.@InfoMgmtExec

@kravietz Solar and PV DON'T occupy "vast amounts of one non-renewable resource... land surface."Nor have people "forgotten" to use the back of an envelope to show that today's total global energy use, provided by PV, would occupy 0.4% of land.The rest of your post is an attempt to support your fallacious opening error and doomed to failure.Read about the subject before making silly claims, e.g. here:Energy and Human Ambitionson a Finite Planet.Assessing and Adapting to Planetary Limits.Thomas W. Murphy, Jr.University of California, San Diego (2022)[Hint, see page 231]

@kravietz I don't see a global calculation, which I provided.Not only is 0.4% the maximum land required for solar PV to supply 100% global energy use today, there are many factors that reduce it in practice:* A world without fossil fuels will use less than 50% of today's energy overall, due to extraction, transportation and conversion inefficiency.* That excludes our existing Hydro and Nuclear capacity* That excludes Wind.* Wind and Solar can be co-located on land.* There is offshore wind. * Solar PV can be located on rooftops, using zero incremental land.* Solar PV can be located in deserts and other low value land. * Solar PV efficiency is increasing.All the above excludes positive actions we can take such as reducing air travel, moving to public transport, reducing food miles, eating less meat etc. #Renewables #Energy #Climate #ClimateCrisis

@kravietz "requires exponential increase in mining and processing"LOL. Garbage.I tried facts, you're blocked.

@art Free Green Public Transport, definitely a part of the solution: Rail, Trams, EV Taxis - likely AI driven.https://climatejustice.social/@Pampa/109819143207744549#FGPT
