Surely we both agree that the rat is black's best defense against 1e4?

 Never played that... lately I've been playing the scandinavian. I will meditate deeply on this!

I do like the Scandinavian, especially the gambit variation.
But I see videos on youtube of Magnus playing the rat.  If it gets popular I'll have to abandon it, perhaps for the Great Snake, Pterodactyl, or Hippopotamus.

Circa 2000 a group from Princeton came up with a plan to limit the warming to 2.5C which did not involve nuclear, but also did not involve catastrophic economic decline.  But even if we accept that this was possible then, it isn't now.  Nuclear is a must, at least for a few decades.

I do not have expertise in this field.  I cannot speak on this as a scientist but as a lay person.  Answer:  I don't know.

 Don't be so "scientist". ;)

I'm afraid that's central to our discussions.  One shouldn't be dogmatic from a position of ignorance.
