That’s not untrue but the problem with phrasing it that way is that people will interpret it to mean we can implement relatively unnoticed measures to mitigate climate change. That may have been true 50 years ago but it’s not anymore. Meaningful change will be very painful at this point and that’s exactly why it’s not going to happen until it’s literally impossible to ignore the problem. You would think we’re there already but humans are very good at maintaining delusional thinking.
Hardly; it’s largely a matter of how quickly we phase out fossil fuels. Wait longer, and you get to scrap equipment before the ends of its normal useful life instead of getting full use out of what you pay for.
