The world is currently buzzing with plans to force reductions in gas emissions at almost any cost. But it ought to be buzzing much more with plans to reduce the temperature, or for how to thrive at a higher temperature. And not at all costs, but efficiently and cheaply.

Still, major reductions in carbon emissions—resulting from the combination of continued efficiency gains, better system designs, and moderated consumption—are possible, and a determined pursuit of these goals would limit the eventual rate of global warming. But we cannot know to what extent we will succeed by 2050, and thinking about 2100 is truly

The facts are brutal. To stay under 1.5°C, the global economy can burn only a fixed amount more carbon, which at time of publication, the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change estimated at approximately 275 gigatons and
