The no-carbon and current lifestyle does not seem doable IMO. Electric planes are not happening any time soon due to weight of the batteries. Container ships still burn worst type of fuel even in 2021. Our lifestyle crucially depends on logistics of air and ship travel. And these are not catching up.

Roads won't be free of ICE cars for 30 more years at least and make that 50+ for the 3rd world countries.

Energy generation with solar panels and wind turbines is not stable. Only long-term solution is nuclear so that our children in 20 years breath less coal-burn exhausts.

It will probably happen eventually but we will live through a lot of weather related suffering until then. Thank you previous generations.
