Continued fossil fuel extraction is at this point a crime against humanity.

That is way over the top! Think about people living in extreme poverty waiting for electricity to improve their lives. Fossil fuels are going to be part of that in the developing world for sometime to come. Read Vaclav Smil.

And think about the people living in extreme poverty waiting for the next fire, storm or drought to destroy their lives. Re Smil, I ordered it last night.

Those people would be dead if not for cheap energy Marianne. Imposing higher energy costs to force immature "renewable" energy source adoption hurts people with the least money most. Must solve the immediate issues before the long term ones and that is a problem both parties have

Droughts and floods occurred long before fossil fuels.

Increased deaths due to the climate is a total MYTH.

How are you going to travel around the country campaigning for president with no fossil fuels? Why do I suspect you are flying most of the time.
