How to stop global warming in five easy steps

Matthew Patterson from the Sustainable Consumption Institute outlines a plan to halt the rise in global emissions. To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, he suggests banning new coal, oil, and gas operations, and airport expansions. A fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty could be established, and existing coal plants replaced with renewable energy. Energy efficiency in buildings should be improved, using electricity instead of natural gas. Ground transport should shift to electric vehicles, and people should favor public transport over private cars.
