Off the wall from an economist.

I wonder if he took any physics or mechanical engineering?

Maybe he should catch up on the RE technology we have available at scale today.

Sorry,

doesn't cut it.

There is no way that FF's can compete anymore on cost and especially emissions for electrical energy production with renewables and that's been true for a number of years now.

For purely "economic" reasons.

Rat read it over there.

"The Kyoto Protocol was adopted on December 11, 1997."

Kyoto didn't do much; his chronology should start with Paris.

"Even now we can read declarations claiming that the world can rely solely on wind and PV by 2030"
I dunno who would make that claim, but it certainly forgets about the role of water, geothermal, nukes for some, and storage, including hydrogen and ammonia. We can do that by 2050.

"Failing to reach an unrealistic goal of complete global decarbonization by 2050 means failing to limit average global warming to 1.5oC."

We could hit net zero tomorrow, and still maybe not hold it below 1.5 degrees. We'll be lucky to hold it below 2.0 degrees by 2050.
