Ironically, despite what I have posted above. The best thing to do for the environment / Climate is to lift people out of poverty. We may take a hit in the short term ( 50-100 years) but when people aren’t worried about how they’re going to feed their family tomorrow, they can then turn their attention to other matters such as the environment and climate.
That’s why it’s very rich for modern Western civilisations to preach and dictate to developing nations about their use of fossil fuels, as we’ve already benefited from them to the point we can start to move away from them, developing nations don’t have that luxury yet.
The stark reality is that fossil fuels will be around for the next 100 yrs minimum and beyond.
