How many solar and wind farms will it take for the U.S. to stop burning coal, oil and gas? How much energy will be needed to power hundreds of millions of electric cars? And where will we mine enough lithium to build the batteries in those cars?
As an energy reporter focused on the climate crisis — and a young person hoping for a long life on this planet — I spend my days asking and trying to answer those kinds of questions. But what if they’re the wrong questions?
What if instead of replacing fossil fuels with renewable electricity, we should be focused on reducing our energy use as much as possible? What if the key to maintaining a stable climate — and protecting Earth’s dwindling biodiversity — is accepting that our current lifestyles and consumption habits, at least in the developed world, are simply unsustainable?
And what if trying to solve climate change by doubling down on capitalism — renewable energy tax credits for wealthy investors, requirements for companies to sell cleaner products — only perpetuates the broken economic systems that got us into this mess in the first place, exacerbating income inequality and fueling continued destruction of the natural world?

Sorry, Sammy, your entire world-view is predicated on a hoax.
You and your generation have been brainwashed to believe in a falsehood. There is no “climate crisis.” It is a fair tale. Whatever clever solutions you may weave actually mean nothing.
I reject the premise.
fairy tale.
Only the absolute poverty caused by communism will fix the climate.
“Capitalism fuels the climate crisis. “
If you doubt who is behind the climate BS, this is for you.
He’s a gaper.
What climate crisis?
There is no “climate crisis”. There’s a crisis of the masses being lied to by the communist media and “educators”.

Right. And don’t forget the bugs. Focus on eating bugs. More energy efficient. And live where you work. Your work will be interesting (learn to code!) and your rewards will be really cool virtual reality video games and good drugs and lots of orgasms with a variety of organisms achieved in really strange but very rainbow-colorful ways.
NO THANK YOU KLAUS

Now that is actually quite funny. Looks like a clear-headed deep thinker to me. LA Times reporter indeed. Thank you for the laugh.

I think I see his problem, he was just Born Stupid
The UN’s IPCC president gave a speech in which she touted the push for global warming programs as the best opportunity to end all capitalist societies.
That is the goal.
The first statement in the headline is a lie.
There isn't any climate crisis. These stupid skulls full of mush ALWAYS start with that false premise and faulty logic follows. Here in North Idaho we are in the deep freeze and almost DOUBLE our annual snowfall for December 15.
There are plenty of scholarly articles pointing out that cold kills FAR more people than heat -- like up to 5 or 6 times as many. There was an excellent one a couple days ago that extensively quotes Dr. Bjorn Lomborg:
How many lives are being lost due to the senseless obsession with net zero?
