No it isn’t. Our world would collapse and the poorest would suffer the most.

Fossil fuels and petroleum products play a significant role in our economy. They are used in various sectors and industries such as transportation, manufacturing, electricity generation, and agriculture. 1. Transportation: Fossil fuels, particularly petroleum products like gasoline and diesel, are the primary sources of energy for vehicles. They power cars, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes, enabling the movement of goods and people. 2. Manufacturing: Fossil fuels are used as an energy source in manufacturing processes. They provide heat and power for machinery and equipment in industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, plastics, and textiles. 3. Electricity Generation: Fossil fuels, including coal, natural gas, and oil, are used to generate electricity in power plants. These power plants supply electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. 4. Agriculture: Fossil fuels are used in agriculture for various purposes. They power agricultural machinery and equipment, such as tractors and irrigation systems. Additionally, fossil fuel-derived fertilizers and pesticides are used to enhance crop productivity. 5. Residential and Commercial Use: Fossil fuels are used for heating and cooling purposes in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They are used in furnaces, boilers, and air conditioning systems to provide warmth or coolness. 6. Petrochemical Industry: Fossil fuels are a crucial component in the production of petrochemicals. These chemicals are used to manufacture a wide range of products, including plastics, synthetic fibers, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Wrong, the earth is going into a cooling cycle. Millions and possibly billions could die from lack of food and heat as a result.

This issue requires more nuance than most people are willing to recognize. YoY global consumption has been growing over the last three decades. The US can go to zero fossil fuel reliance today and make no considerable global impact. How do we action this? ourworldindata.org/grapher/f…

Then stop using the internet. Where do you think the power is coming from for all those datacenters around the world?
