... modifying our energy sources and output won't reverse the changes of the past few centuries. It won't reverse the damage caused by global industrialisation and a population of over seven billion.
It's too late for that. The damage is done. The ice caps are melting, droughts are getting longer, weather at both ends of the temperature scale are getting worse. Hell, last month Australia had some of the worst flooding its ever had, while simultaneously fighting massive bushfires in the same damn state. It's no longer about reversing a documented downward spiral. It's about slowing it down and minimising the damage.
