"While solar, wind, and other alternatives to fossil fuels may alleviate carbon emissions and mitigate climate change, they fail to address the underlying systemic issues." So true. We must also consider overshoot and the coming decline of oil, which building renewables relies on.

As the documentary “The Year Earth Changed” shows us, the Earth will recover quickly from the human created pollution choking us all—if we stop the burning of oil.

But, our fate may be that of yeast in a vat doing nothing but eating and reproducing… eventually dying in our own waste.
