    “I want food and to not freeze/overheat” is not a desire based on exponential growth, but is a desire that currently requires fossil fuels.

    Much like the “9 million starve” number, the argument against fossil fuels is incredibly misleading.

      Again, no one believes that change is possible overnight.

      Such an idea has never been mentioned.

      At any time, a current condition of society is due to a long succession of events preceding it, without which the particular condition would be different.

      Our current predicament has been a long time in the making. We need to unify toward directing a succession of events away from dependence on fossil fuels, for achieving a transition to sustainable energy.
