Either fossil fuel extraction continues, or human civilization as we know it survives. We can’t have both.

This is false, and ridiculously so. New technologies should be implemented, but those take time. And yes, we have plenty of time.

We need to keep working on improving the technology for green energy. But when you take this stance, people in Ukraine die, and the poorest freeze and or starve. We can’t just turn it off. If we do that only the rich survive.

In #Haiti 80% of urban households use charcoal as their primary cooking fuel. Rather than advocating for Haiti's development including nuclear energy and nuclear desalination plants, Marianne literally wants large swaths of the developing world to starve. She is a Malthusian!

honest question. Have you taken a look at what the impact of NOT allowing fossil fuels would be. The millions that would be either thrown into poverty and starvation, the emerging economies that would not be emergent anymore with all the tragedy that entails?...

It’s ok, we can realign the chakras of the oil wells

Civilization is is danger of collapsing if we do not have both. If we still had energy independence as we did with Tump then Putin would have little power. A nuclear exchange could lead to a nuclear winter, much worse than global warming.

World's dependence on Oil is what's 'fueling' Russia's war on Ukraine. It may not be about oil—but oil wealth is the financier.

Meh! too soon from your previous debacle.

Most of the current advancements we have are due to fossil fuels. You may want to live in the dark ages, but i don’t. Fossil fuels can still be extracted for purposes other than driving cars as we need to move to electric anyway. Push for elec vehicles & say bye to climate alarm.
