For what it's worth, climate journalist and author Leigh Phillips seems to think the doom and gloom UN report that said we have only 12 years to turn our emissions around is just wrong. There are also plenty of existing technologies that can suck GHG out of the air and create carbon-neutral fuel out of it ( example A ) it's just a matter of mustering the political will and leadership to mass-adopt such technologies and stop subsidising the fucking oil companies
Our fate is by no means sealed. My main worry is how possible (or likely) all this is under capitalism. Then again, the world was successfully able to eliminate the use of chlorofluorocarbons in air conditioners and hair spray, and that was all done without overthrowing the ruling class.
