The point is that renewable buildouts don't help. ONLY permanently preventing exports in oil producing countries helps. Not temporary reductions. Stopping exports entirely before the oil is dug up. Everything else might be nice in it's own right, but doesn't change the global warming calculation much at all.

Which effectively means that renewable deployment in the west might still be a good idea, but not because it supposedly slows or stops global warming.
