Why does everything have to transition at the same time? Leave Planes and Trains running on Fossil Fuels until we get to a point where we can reliably and effectively store renewable energy. We can start taking steps else where though.
Automobiles. Lets start with that as we already have cars that can replace daily city driving and I'm sure long distance driving will get there soon.
That alone will account for quite a bit of the damage we cause.
