THIS! As we will grasp the effective impact of the past century of burning fossil fuel, we will first go in denial, hoping for a technological miracle.

While there might be a way to produce 84% of the energy currently used without involving fossil fuel, it would not reasonably be implemented in the next decades.

So, we might have to change the way we live. The sooner we adapt, the less painful it would be. If this is not for the climate, it would be as we reach peak oil/gas/coal.
