I believe NO. There is no way that emission cuts alone could balance a twelve fold increase, especially when mining companies and News Stations are still broadcasting that Global Warming is not real science, "COAL, it turns on the Lights", "YES, Coal, clean, affordable, carbon neutral coal" and people are buuing electric cars and plugging them into coal produced electricity.
There have to be other ways. Maybe everybody needs to breathe more slowly, relax, and meditate on the solution we could buy some time and come up with something grounded in the Divine. Like EVERYTHING we do has to change. hmm
I really recommend getting our garden seeds and thinking about water purification and water source protection, education about our personal basic requirements and coming to terms with what we are doing to fulfill them, and what impact every little thing we are doing is having on the rest of us, on ourselves in the long run, and on the other life forms on this planet. We need to wake up from this coma, because this artificial life support system is going to collapse.
AS for me, I am planting more trees, more plants, mushrooms and I'm using organic viable seed producing specimens so I have my own mini seed bank. I'm off grid, and I drive as little as possible. I try to always turn off most power during peak hours where ever I am and prefer to be outdooors.
