Too late for that, I’m afraid. We’ll be mostly alright, of course, But if you have children then I advise you to make your apologies in a timely manner.

Well, since decency does not seem to be a human behaviour thing, the path would be eco-lobbying progressive technology now.

Might have a better chance of working out, one still needs a leverage to overpower the reactionary lobby though:

How to drive fossil fuels out of the US economy, quickly

Large-scale electrification would slash total US primary energy demand in half, from around 100 quads to about 45-50. This a huge deal â it means America only needs to produce about half the energy with renewables that it is currently producing with fossil fuels.

I'm so glad I've never been tempted to have children.

the temptation to have children is not the temptation that produces children, in my experience.
