Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

This gets tossed around a lot. There are other economic models in use around the world. Are there any studies as to their climate pact?
Edit: In relation to your question, I'm pretty sure that you could find such texts, if you look into Scandinavian relevant studies.
Some other readings would be in relation to Social Ecology
I will not directly reply to your question, but use it as an input to share a couple of thoughts..
The current economic model has infinite growth embedded in it and the planet is finite. In a way, it is expanding in a colonialist manner. Also, it is the predominant one all over the world. This is why we have a triple planetary crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, as well as pollution/waste.
Personally, I don't think we need an economic model to organise societies. We need a societal organisational model, or many actually, that are based on horizontal decision-making processes, as well as sustainability. How to get from here to there, I suppose it's whole another topic.
This is a great question. I do not know the answer, but I would be very interested in seeing such a study.
