Natural Gas and Coal may be tapped more heavily in the future, but we will (probably) never use wood/charcoal or any other material in high quantities to produce energy because of how inefficient and expensive other materials are ... Even then , it is unlikely that we could ramp up production of Natural Gas and Coal at a fast enough rate to get to 150% of current CO2 emissions before they were approaching peak production and the decline in oil production eliminated any gains they made.
The fact is that we're creating policy based on computer models that are full of awful assumptions, that are based off of "science" which refuses to follow the scientific method and question their hypothesis in the presence of conflicting data.
