No matter how you control the human activity that produces green house gasses and degrades the environment and living conditions on this planet, if the number of people—living and breathing human beings who contribute to that degradation continues to increase (for every one death out of 1000 individuals per day there are 2.3 births— google it). How do you catch up if this population increase continues?
No one dares to talk about it but it is at the core of balancing a finite planet with the infinite growth of living creatures who inhabit it.
I don’t mean to dismiss any reasonable actions to control the climate warming, but this core issue needs to be faced if we are ever to get a handle on the warming. The Chinese were doing something about it,but then abandoned limits on birth . Why? Greed -having discovered “capitalistic communism “—- opting for the biggest share, damn the rest of the world.

Subject: Mazria / benefits of a green grid
Ed Mazria: "Besides reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating a green grid will accomplish two things: produce jobs and save consumers money. The savings for U.S. energy consumers since 2005 is over a trillion dollars, because building sector energy consumption did not increase while we added billions of square feet to our building stock. The decoupling of building growth from energy consumption is important, because it completely negates the argument that it will cost an exorbitant amount of money to decarbonize the built environment. It isn't going to cost consumers anything! They will save money."
h/t to Martin Pedersen for continuing to amplify many important voices in COMMON EDGE COLLABORATIVE, including Ed Mazria's, on the critical issues we face today, including ... including climate (without solving this one, all the ingenuity in the world on the others will be irrelevant)
