I think the biggest issue is actually even further that these ones: it's the population itself. Overpopulation has been a huge driver, and it's a problem without a solution ; but it's still too absent from the conversation, especially because the system and the economy rely a lot on the population growing. But i agree, in absence of a good solution for this part, the next best thing is a change of habits for the people.

> Overpopulation has been a huge driver, and it's a problem without a solution Population is predicted to reach a peak and then start declining according to all the modelling I have seen so overpopulation is not a problem without a solution. And the vast majority of that population is not consuming most of the energy. India's per capita consumption is less than one tenth of that of the US [1]. Even though they have three times the population they still consume less than one third of what the US does.
