Read a book, read a book, read a motherfucking book.
Three books that all suggest ways that our modern way of life can continue into a greatly carbon reduced future complete with arguments that address nuclear power, wind and solar in realistic and fact based ways. When you say "we simply have no other way of maintaining our civilization" it's almost as if you believe your own failure to imagine and research ways to do it is evidence that it can't be done. But it can, and many scientists and authors have considered many options. Some far fetched and others very realistic.
Plan B 4.0 by Lester Brown, the last link there, is even free on the internet. It's a profoundly powerful and well researched read. The people who are idly calling for "reduced carbon emissions" may not know what they're talking about most of the time, obviously big changes have to be done, but it doesn't mean that smart people haven't worked on and solved a lot of the problem. It's just finding a political will to do what has to be done.
Anyone else read Eaarth by Bill McKibben? This is not the best argument to use in saying the planet will still survive...
