Very interesting article, thanks for posting.
I can't claim to be an expert environmentalist, but I am qualified and experienced in energy systems (Formerly Chartered Engineer), carrying out my own independent research on what I see is an energy problem. I've been working on it now for about six years unfunded since seeing the bigger problem coming on PhD candidate research work.
Its a huge problem, but there emerges at the heart of it a basic flaw in our perceptions about money and energy, which seems almost religious, therefore stepped around by science, as if it was dog poo, seemingly :)
But it's incredibly important, if we really want to stop doing the damage, this is what needs to be understood:
Everyone in the position of being able to purchase land, has made their money by profit. If they didn't somebody else did.
Wherever profit is made, there is energy gain, because money is energy per token, the same energy per token before and after the profitable transaction.
That energy had to come from somewhere, because energy can't be created or destroyed, just pushed around, the only place it can come from is the planet.
It is technically stolen from the planet without us even realising.
We've done this throughout history by colonisation and slavery.
The chain of profitable transactions in every supply chain leads eventually to where the energy was taken from the planet, it could be as oil, gold, diamonds, animal life, plant life, oil, coal, lithium, whatever, all of it is energy, and when loans are issued (All money is issued as debt), effectively a contract is put on requisitioning that amount of energy from Earth. This is the only way to pay the loan in terms of energy, and all loans are energy, since all money is energy, it always has energy value in markets.
So when someone has a lot of money at their disposal, an awful lot of damage was done to Earth by the creation of that money. Every cent of it represents things taken from Earth, and in the end much of what is extracted is converted to heat.
So there you see the first impulse of temperature rise.
This is before generation of C02, which is just a symptom of the fundamental action of destruction, which is monetised, in all cases of energy profit.
All money, and all profit, as stands is actually a measure of energy extracted from the planet.
So it isn't possible to use money created from destruction to directly undo the damage already done by the money created.
The net result of trying is just more temperature rise.
There is one exception to that rule, which is to accelerate the effects of solar energy applied to "Paying back the energy debt".
Effectively our financial debt, can be commuted to an energy debt to the planet.
If we accept this, then we see how to pay it back; use the energy of the sun.
This is the source of additive energy. We can't use more from the planet to try to pay back debts already outstanding, we can only do it with solar. The effect of trying to use more energy of Earth to try to undo damage done, is actually accelerating the extraction rate, and thus the rate of fundamental temperature rise. This is worse than doing nothing at all.
The way we need to use the energy of the sun is the same way nature uses it.
We have to make the most of what is received by our "leaves" (solar farms), transporting this to Earth as a product of our activities. In this mode all of our exhaust products automatically become beneficial to Earth, rather than harmful to it, largely regardless of efficiency.
I know that might sound too good to be true, but this is the automatic, mathematical result, of switching from mathematically negative energy (extracted from Earth), to mathematically positive energy (added to Earth).
I wrote a book on the mechanism at the heart of that, it's one of a series I am publishing in e-book only format, as information evaluated using Ai (ChatGPT).
The book series is "Interview with the Ai", it's in Amazon. The first starts at the deep end of the research, by describing something called the "Energy Polarity Multiplier Framework", the subtitle of that book.
I see this as something like the Jewel in the crown (of the research). I would love to give it away for free, more than it is already in Medium, but the time I've spent already on this project unpaid has taken its toll, the book series has to compensate a little to help me to get to whenever the contents of the book come to pass.

The concept characterises the tendency of energy flow to create it's own paths of least resistance, like lightning, but in slow motion. There are cascading avalanche effects that happen in any path of energy flow, which serve to reinforce the path, effectively latching us into whichever mode is applicable.
Moving from one path to the other, as is our challenge right now, to get from mathematically negative to mathematically positive energy, will require some catastrophic / radical changes to be made.
I explain how to do that by issue of massive solar stimulus.

I also give a practical design model (Still to go into the books) of the scaleable domestic and community solar hydrogen component, scaleable to any community.
We could argue we even saw a demo of it already during covid.
The demo ended when the money issued was reclaimed.
There are forces at work (negative multipliers!) right now trying to change the narrative of that history, but they will lose.
They have to lose if there is to be a survivable outcome. Again this sounds biblical, but I can't help that, we have hard proof here of certain disaster coming as a direct result of the action of profit. It isn't time dependent, but profit dependent.
Profit is the energy crime that has to stop.
I show how we can do that in a way that is dictated by all stakeholder requirements. The solution is a domestic and community solar hydrogen ecology.
With that we will keep all transportation including air transport, even scaling it up where it was deficient. We could even see things like Concorde back in the air again, with everyone including the toilet cleaners being able to fly in it.
We get this new positive energy ecology by firstly demanding that the money representing economic product already created but never monetised by solar farms, since around 2005, is issued as stimulus, ongoing, indexed to solar energy as it comes in.
The second book is the one describing the money owed for historical product created. It is hundreds of billions currently in smaller countries, trillions in the larger countess.
I intend the second book to always be the backbone book, the most accessible, and the one book to have, if a choice of only one has to be made. There will be others to fill out the full research picture but the first and second books give the lions share of the information already, beyond what is in Medium, the documented path of my research, in around 370 stories to date.

I think if you miss this, then your story can never be complete :)
