    CMV: the fight against climate change will be impossible because of compromises.

    You seem to be missing the major factor of technical advancements and innovations. For example, airplanes. They continue to get more fuel efficient, on average dropping in the amount of fuel burned by over 1% per year; it?s dropped about 50% since 1968, and will likely continue to do so. Electric planes are also beginning to become more feasible. It will take time, just like electric cars have, but battery technology is improving. Also, [flying isn?t much worse emissions wise per person per distance traveled then other methods like driving alone.](https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49349566) Renewables continue to improve, and as batteries improve (lithium ion batteries are expected to half in price in the next decade, and there could be other innovations like graphene batteries that become more mainstream), energy will be able to be stored to always keep up with the demand. And not only will it be more environmentally friendly, it will also be cheaper, and safer for workers. There have been many innovations in food production and manufacturing, and I don?t see why that will not continue. As for the Amazon, the issue people are generally talking about is illegal deforestation, not people living there.
