Yes the last 10% will be hard, yes we should probably consume less stuff, yes capitalism.

But right now we have proven technologies, available at the necessary scale to real make some serious progress; and they are actually cheaper than doing the wrong things. The "easy" parts make up 80-90% of the problem, so we can fix 80-90% of the problem now.

Literally the only thing stopping us is that leaders all over the world chose not to do so.

I know its techno optimism, but forgive me.

There are so many solutions available now that could massively accelerate mitigations to our current climate woes. Solar, wind and batteries (and big nukes where they make sense) for power. Heat pumps for low grade industrial heating and home haeting. >1800C heat batteries for industrial heat. Even properly biodegradable plastics to help with direct pollution.
