We're basically being bailed out by luck. Renewable electricity has gotten cheap; it didn't have to. If that hadn't of happened we'd probably be doing business as usual and accelerating into catastrophe.

I have bad news for you: We're still accelerating into catastrophe, just not quite as fast as we otherwise would've been. We need to keep trying of course, but we still have a very long way to go before we can even think about considering ourselves in the clear.
