A review of available techno-fixes leads to two unavoidable conclusions. First, our problem is not just carbon emissions per se; it’s also how we humans inhabit our planet (too many of us using too much stuff too fast). And second, we need non-technological ways of addressing the climate crisis.

Hard to take the article seriously when it dismisses renewable energy in favor of household bike generators of all things.

This is in no way practical. Restoring ecosystems is a very important task for building climate resiliency and mitigating some of the damage, but we'd effectively lose the ability to do anything by hampering energy production to such a degree. Hard to make a bunch of pyrolysate to regen the soil when the ovens are pedal-powered.
