IMO, my solution is far less simple and hand-wavy than yours is. I can point to several books with solutions on how to get from my 60% solution to a full zero-carbon future.

There is no degrowth based path that gets us to 0 carbon except for degrowth to 0 humans.

Meanwhile, after decades of "we tried everything" we produce, year after year, record levels of co2

You can look at it any way you want it simply doesn't work, it's not enough to wish for it.

There is no 60% solution, not even close, so it doesn't matter if a sci fi books mention a 0 carbon future

CO2 levels have been dropping on a per capita basis for several years and are expected to drop on an absolute basis in 2024 or 2025.
