But Foley (and I) see plenty of merit in broadening a base of support for steps that can build a more resilient and inventive nation and global society and foster a shift toward an energy menu that works for the long haul.

At the inception of the Al Gore era of the global warming issue, Stephen Schneider and the Society of Environmental Journalists spotted the very thing that could stop the issue in its tracks — if the public only saw scientists contradicting each other over whether man - caused global warming was a problem, the issue would never advance as a problem in need of a solution.

The call to decarbonize the global economy by 80 % by 2050 can now only be described as glib in my opinion, as the underlying analysis shows it is only possible if we wish to see large parts of the population die from starvation, destitution or violence in the absence of enough low - carbon energy to sustain society.

«It is time to show bolder vision, innovation and urgent action - in global efforts and domestically - building on the clear momentum we are seeing in our societies and economies already.

As a number of scientific articles have shown, most recently by Kevin Anderson and Alice Bows in the Journal of the Royal Society, limiting the world to 2 °C warming most likely requires peaking total global carbon emissions in the next 5 - 10 years followed by immediate reductions to near - zero by 2050 (see Anderson and Bows emission trajectory options here, via David Roberts, and by David Hone here).
