As always, the key question for these guys is: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ARGUING AGAINST.

It is wild how they just Make Up A Guy constantly, and it doesn't occur to anyone to ask them who the hell they're talking about.

Spend 0.0001 seconds looking at eNGO climate pages, folks
here’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this: In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature. Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong. Although climate change will have serious consequences—particularly for people in the poorest countries—it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further. Threats Effects of climate change Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect. Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people’s livelihoods and communities. U.S. Cities at Risk As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe. People in cities and towns around the United States are facing the consequences, from heat waves and wildfires to coastal storms and flooding.

However it seems that in this case the solution could have been simpler:

1) Make sure conventional backup power acts as promised

2) Change the rules for turning off solar when over- or under-voltage occurs, so solar doesn't turn off all at once
