You don't fight climate change by stopping the economy, you fight it by building renewable energy, insulating homes and getting rid of fossil-fueled transportation wherever possible.

Actually climate change is driven by our use of fossil fuels, and use of fossil fuels has a direct correlation with our GDP. So, reducing our fossil fuel use will inevitably lead to a reduction in our GDP. Not a stop, but a recession.

The good thing is that this recession is going to happen anyway, because the supply of fossil fuel is dwindling already.
