We know how to decarbonise our energy systems. We know how to decarbonise road and rail transportation. We know how to produce low carbon cement and steel. Humanity doesn’t have to suffer ever worse heatwaves and droughts. We can avoid this.

How have humans reshaped the world’s land over the last 12,000 years? Over thousands of years, humans have gradually transformed the Earth’s surface — clearing land for agriculture (crops and grazing animals) and building settlements.

Is clean power cheap enough to compete? The argument leaves out the environmental and social cost of fossil fuels that never end up on a bill. These are real and large costs. They are just charged to somebody else. More in new Bright Spots edition: open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...
