Looks like the math hasn't worked out for us.
Looks like the fossil-fuels haven't worked out for us.
The data presented in the graphic isn't an absolute.
The graph represents some 'wants'.
People can get by with 'needs.'
There's a lot of 'fat' that can be trimmed from the 'math.'
We get a NASA APOLLO-13 mission flight director like Gene Kranz to throw enough circuit-breakers to get Earth's current draw down to 15-amps ,until it's time for the reentry burn.Duct tape some tube-socks and Lithium- hydroxide carbon-dioxide filters together, to bring our atmosphere back.
The trip may not be ideal,but we make it out alive.
If you've never done a solo backpacking trip into hostile territory you may never actually know what 'needs' are.
It's a distinction which can make or break a planet.
