Sunday 11 December 7-by-many AMICABLE/CLIMBABLE puzzle

MIMICABLE – able to be mimicked https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mimicable potential seed word
The greenest watt ever produced is the one you never use. Playing as jk1956 & John is my name.
When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

This is not in many dictionaries, but it is generated by a standard construction. And it is occasionally used, with self-evident meaning. For example in a 2010 sports column in the Melbourne Age:

Quote
The inimitable, if highly mimicable, Ray Warren, in the Wests Tigers v Raiders final last Friday: "We are on the precipice of a cliff-hanger here!"

I'll add it as a rare word.
