Look at the utter craziness of Cali weather. Infrastructure isn't made for that.
It isn't 2 billions a person (although I realize you weren't serious about that number) - it is just not possible at all to maintain our standard of living.
If we moved to no more fossil fuels heat will go up more due to lack of aerosols.
The time to act was a decade ago but sustainable approaches to life mean a decrease in standard of living. This goes 100% against capitalism. Capitalism has worked to make everything cheaper which just means more stuff is created and even more of a strain. It has increased our lifestyle and the expense of the future.
