Study after study indicates that to avoid many of the worst possible outcomes of climate changes humans should pretty much stop using oil just about...right now. Like, to go from whatever we use now, to 0, zilch, nada.
Stopping fossil fuels is a non starter.
It would be signing the death warrant for billions of people.
You'd be amazed how many green folks think that it's necessary for lots of people to die very quickly. Fortunately for them, it's probably going to happen.
I could be wrong but policies today look like more a gradual slow depopulation. Climate Change is going to be used to slowly strangle the richer economies of the world and transfer the wealth out of them.
The real problem that is that their are too many people on the planet to live like the typical American. We would devastate the planet quickly and put a huge strain on resources.
So by strangling wealthy economies slowly and by removing the middle class, you reduce resource consumption. The planet can handle billions of poor people who have little consumption outside of their basic survival needs. It can't handle 7.5 billion people living the American dream.
