All the world leaders are there right now wringing their hands about fossil fuels and our warming planet. I'm wondering how many of them consumed the very fossil fuels they are wringing their hands about getting to the summit meeting? Same for the people who are demonstrating.
We have not figured it out. We can't have our cake and eat it, too. We can't enjoy our modern conveniences without harm to the planet. That includes all the emerging green technologies as well. Batteries and their chemicals do not magically disappear without harm to the planet. A single blade for a wind farm is the length of a football field. Where does that go when it goes out of commission? The manufacturing of solar panels is not without its scars on the environment.
The only way out of this is to return to life in balance with nature. Nobody is willing to do it, except for those already living in tribes that have not been corrupted by our influence. And to think....we are so arrogant as to send missionaries and the like to "save" them and to make them more like us.
