I don't understand like half of these words. Ecomodernist I new to me, decoupling rates, some paradox, rebound effect... is this a riddle? What here needed prefixing with an anti-downvote spell, the claim that we need systematic change to fix systematic problems?

I wrote this very quickly as just one comment among dozens of very different comments, so I really didn't expect to get the attention. It's much harder to write with plain words about these topics, so that's the reason for all the jargon.
As for the anti-downvote spell, I knew from previous experience that I get downvotes every time I question the importance of technology. And I did notice many downvotes this time too (from karma fluctuations), but just got a lot more upvotes.
