Almost none of us want a totalitarian state like China to require us to follow draconian actions such as only one natural child per couple or preventing a person from flying more than 4 times over their life.
A practical fix is not ‘we can start by [eating bugs or whatever]’. That is not a serious proposal. For those believing that climate change is a serious global problem and needs to be fixed, what is the **practical** fix that moves the needle rather than only good intentions or an action without serious negative consequences? Anyone with a serious fix?

The "practical fix" is exactly the same as the one that raised 5 billion people from the standard human condition of starvation and poverty under the heel of a tyrant -- in a mere 30 years since the fall of the Soviet Union -- CAPITALISM.
A two degree rise in temperature 100 years from now will barely be noticed by us rich folks in America -- we have air conditioning. Therefore, the solution is for EVERYONE to get rich.
The "crises" of a microscopic rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere can be solved by WEALTH. Wealth = Matter x Energy x Human Ingenuity. W=MEH. And the only system that has ever been devised to increase wealth is CAPITALISM.
But capitalism needs energy and liberty to exist -- which are EXACTLY the two things that the "climate change" fanatics seek to end. This should not be a surprise, since the leaders of this movement are also avowed Marxists. And as countless Marxist experiments have demonstrated in the last 150 years since Marx published Das Capital, the Marxist solution to every Human complaint is -- kill more humans.
