      Read Half Earth Socialism. Or if the S word scares you off read The Ministry for the Future. It’s a hard sci-fi novel so it’s entertaining. It illustrates at least the lower bound of effort that will be required in the coming decades.

          I don’t actually think policies from The Ministry for the Future are prescriptions for getting us out of this, that’s why I recommended Half Earth Socialism. It does however instill an appropriate sense of urgency and scale in its narrative.
