Well yeah any potential solution is going to mean reduced potential profit, which you could describe as degrowth, but that would be the worst possible way to describe it.
The reason why we haven’t gotten anywhere with carbon reduction is because wealthy people block any efforts.
Telling them that degrowth is the solution is unlikely to motivate them.
The first step would be to educate people with anarchist literature. It would be a process dismantling hierarchies without destroying our society of connectivity but I believe its possible. I believe people are, and are becoming more, altruistic on average otherwise civilization would not have been an emergent property of our collectivism.
If you feel you can’t educate others, assist those who can. You’ll never stop bad people from existing, but you can remove the ladders they seize to lord over us.

Thats okay, its not supposed to motivate them. Their power needs to be removed. They clearly cannot govern the world responsibly.
How do you propose to do that given the current slide into fascism?

I feel like you must have slipped through a rift in the time / space continuum and are visiting us from another reality.
In 2025, we’re completely unable to expect “people” at large to engage in any kind of reasoning.
You can’t just propose to “educate people with anarchist literature” like that’s some kind of solution.

Poppycock.
