Even given that, the carbon-free way is still destructive. And wake me up when we're even 20% of the way there. Looking at the CO2 output so far, it looks like it's a pipe dream.

And even then, we still need a return to near pre-industrial levels. More technology will just make it less likely for people to rewild lands, and there will be too many people.

What we need is a complete dismantling of all technology.
