Or... cool the planet by other means than reducing emissions.
Please provide scientific proof that the alternatives to plastic are better for the environment.
If you are supporting the dead-tree book industry, you are part of the problem.
How do you know that recycling is better for the environment that simply landfilling? Show me the science.
You misquoted me by leaving out the rest of my sentence. Therefore I am done with this conversation.
I shall take my leave by saying that obviously CO2 and other greenhouse gases are the cause of warming. But you still refuse to answer my question - what are the best solutions?
"The best solution is to not increase global warming further." We all want to reduce warming. What is the best way?
What is the science supporting CO2 reduction as the only or best solution. Answer this and I shall leave content.
DId you read mine? You admit that every one of your "solutions" is about reducing CO2, those are all the same thing! Reducing CO2 is one solution. Please provide solution #2 which is not about CO2.
Your tunnel vision is contributing to the global warming problem.
Ahem, you have only listed one solution, which is reducing greenhouse gases.
How about coming up with so other ideas, because the first is patently no going to do the job, for multiple reasons.
We sorted out the problem in the USA, and then promptly banned the rest of the world from using DDT. I guess a few million dead people are worth it.
Your are correct. Increased access to all the beneficial things you list is made possible by economic development, which has the downside of pollution.
There is a choice. No growth, less pollution, lower life expectancy, or high growth, pollution, increased life expectancy. As always, there are trade-offs. Yes, lowering pollution is highly desirable, but there are downsides and unintended consequences.
Pollution is a necessary evil on the path the fully-developed nation status. Once that is achieved, the environment will improve, but not before.

Polling says black people must sit at the back of the bus.
We've had blockchain technology for nearly 15 years, which can do the same, with the added benefit of avoiding the need for a third-party intermediary.
It's a mystery why we persist with dollar vaporware, which can be printed to infinity, is backed by the pinky-swear of politicians, and now can be forfeited by the Fed at click of a mouse. Insanity!
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary."
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
