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

Sure we can. If you read the IPCC report, and read it correctly, you will see that we have at least a 30-year window to transition from fossil fuels to nuclear which is the only possible solution. Wind and solar are too diffuse and are more fad than solution. But we have time.

How much has fossil fuel extraction impacted climate change? Can you express this in tons or barrels per degree? How much more can we safely extract without ending civilization?

we had both for 3000 years

But not all at once.

(CNN)Climate change is on course to transform life on Earth as we know it, and unless global warming is dramatically slowed, billions of people and other species will reach points where they can no longer adapt to the new normal, according to a major report published Monday.

Unless fossil fuel extraction continues in the West, the middle east and Russia will, literally, be the power brokers of the world.

This is very wrong! Without Fossil Fuels we wouldn’t be where we are today. Fossil fuels make civilization expand, grow and flourish.

The carbon levels back when the dinosaurs lived are like 10x what they are now

CO2 doesn’t work like you think it works. shortfall.blog/carbon-dioxid…
