Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Cleaner Development, Cleaner environment
here are many ways we can have a cleaner development. Starting with trying to reduce what’s been causing a species distribution (SD or SDM). If we reduce human emissions and greenhouse gases, this will cause a cleaner development. We can reduce both human emissions and greenhouse gases, by burning less fossil fuels, reducing CO2 emissions, and cleaner technologies/energy. These are some of the main advances of cleaner development. How can these have a positive impact? Will burning fossil fuels cause less air pollution going into the atmosphere as well as fewer greenhouse gases and human emissions? Reducing CO2 emissions means we will be using more low-carbon sources of energy, renewable energy sources, and renewable technologies. Cleaner technologies can lead to us using more nuclear energy and will help with cleaner and renewable energy. Not to mention how much of a positive impact renewable technologies will have on cleaner development. https://ourworldindata.org/renewable-energy is a great article about cleaner development.
