Fair enough. We need to do something about this. We are fully on the same page.
That does not mean we need to be fewer. Just like the US could reduce its coal consumption by a factor of 2 (and more will come), the rest of the world can do that too. The technology is here. Everywhere you read, they say it's more economical to build a new solar power plant than to operate an existing coal plant. That may be an exaggeration, but solar is getting very competitive. Coal is on its way out.

40% of electricity globally is generated with coal.
US per capita CO2 emissions are still high. If all 8 billion people got to live like the average American, we’d have an even bigger problem.
