      He’s also right that

      “While renewable energy is essential to help the world achieve net zero, it is not sufficient"

      Unfortunately, his preferred option of carbon capture and sequestration is about as realistic at this point as waiting for angels to descend from heaven and transmute all the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere into diamonds. It is a science fiction technology that is not even close to ready for mass deployment, and may not even be physically possible at the scale we’d need. A combination of aggressive transition away from fossil fuels and aggressive degrowth and restrictive supply-side policies that forcibly shut down the fossil fuel industry is literally the only option at this point. Nothing else is going to get the job done in time.
