This looked like a pretty reasonable report to me. Not exactly hopeful, but maybe slightly better than my hope was before. My takeaways are the same as they were:

  1. The US isn't going to lead the fight, we need China (and India) to make progress (faster than it is, though this report was somewhat hopeful to me on that front.)
  2. Solar and batteries is gonna be the main source, governments need to build that.
  3. Individuals help by A. Being active in the political processes of democratic countries. B. Switching to EVs or preferably off cars altogether. C. Limiting or preferably eliminating meat consumption. D. Switching heating devices off of gas. But individual actions won't be the primary driving force behind any change.
  4. General societal shifts towards a reduction in consumption are going to be required.

B should be preferably off cars all together. Off is missing.

Also C could be phrased more diplomatically. I.e. Limit meat consumption to 200g/week or sth. Like that
