TFG - good post but all based on the "critical need" to decarbonise which has been determined from progressive assessments from various world authorities and experts over some 50 years now, so that has to be right, right?
I totally agree that if the current determinations on climate risks are correct, we all need to go green at a much faster click than we are and the downside of doing nothing is really bad news for the grandies.
However the possibility remains that the push to 'green' the planet fades more quickly than it rose because of new research that debunks the current beliefs.
I hold this as an option because I do not subscribe blindly to any noisy scientist or other professional pushing the current assessments. Why would I make this assessment? By observation and participation in that very theme.

In 2019 I found myself on a local government coastal protection initiative and that of course involved in assessing what we should do to address the confirmed looming sea level rise. Key expectation from the specialists in this field was a sea rise of 0.5m in the next 40 years. Is that alarming? Hell yes, so we engaged consultants to look at options for evasive action - you know, moving front row houses back from the coast, building dykes and barrages, to address this looming rise - there being plenty of government money (state and fed) to spend on those taking this initiative.

I asked what was the sea level rise in the last 40years - 1979-2019? That was not supposed to be factored in because the answer was next to nil - 15mm actually. So maybe, but probably not.

This has me including a 'Threat' factor to my HIO S.W.O.T. analysis of the heat and enthusiasm coming out of the climate thingy and as I said above "... the possibility remains that the push to 'green' the planet fades more quickly than it rose because of new research that debunks the current beliefs."
