>>14325069I'm going to answer seriously and non memey btw.
Obviously our infrastructure cant be changed soon enough to stop climate change, this much is certain. At the same time electric vehicles are facing massive supply shortages making them borderline impractical altogether. I believe the future is creation of gasoline through CO2 hydrogenation, we have the mechanism down, we just need a source of hydrogen generated from the sun preferably. This will make the grid much greener without a lot of effort to change our spending practices.
Ince we find a source of green hydrogen (which we can produce efficiently, so no renewables) we can effectively store as much CO2 as we want as hydrocarbon reserves. Past that the single biggest contributor to global warming is changes in land usage, so converting wilderness into farmland. This can just be stopped by the world population shrinking, which economists will autistically shriek about, but ignore them. In the long run we should develop more sustainable farming practices, it sounds cliche I know. Otherwise stuff like concrete, steel, etc. All produce a lot of CO2 from coke, and we have "industry solutions" for that, like CO2 crystallization or electric arc furnaces, really what we need to do is substantially reduce the amount of new metals mined.
