>>"Total renewable power in the world per year ... 440k GWh"
That's 1/6th of nuclear's power generation.
In the U.S. per year, we use 2.5 million GWh of electricity alone, to say nothing of the energy from fossil fuels for heat and transportation. Then you have the EU, China, India, and the rest of the world thrown into the mix (I care not to look up the actual energy use for each, or all.)
The idea that we can decarbonize the global energy sector just by building more solar panels and wind turbines is beyond ludicrous. The math above proves it.
Yes, of all my "lesses" in "Less Now, More Later", " less flying" is the one that I expect will be needed for a long long time.
Make varied expansions of the following topic a recurring focus of your messaging. Doing so would be a major contribution to combating global warming.
Consumers (individuals, organizations, businesses, governments) must promptly minimize their greenhouse gas emissions to bridge the gap while we work on long-term green technology and infrastructure. Less heating and less cooling (none between 13C-30C/55F-85F, https://greenbetween.home.blog). Less driving. Less flying. Less meat-eating. Less population growth (2 children per family). Do it yourself. Tenaciously encourage others to do it. Tenaciously encourage others to tenaciously encourage others.
Embrace the message and tenaciously introduce the message "business card" to all you encounter. (You can print the business card 12 per 8.5x11 using a file from the Promote page of the website.)

Love the typo. Maybe by the person in charge of installing bolts at Boeing.
Thank you George, I have fixed that. Better than being blown out the door.
