Cop28 dipped its collective toe into the fossil fuel reduction issue. I am not describing it as an argument because science agrees that we must reduce the burning of fossil fuels. Of course, the statement issued was minimalist in its nature but what can you expect from a committee of 192 or so?
Its Warming.
Right now, annual global average temperature is about 1.1 degree Celsius hotter than pre-industrial levels.
Its Us
Human beings are causing climate change, largely by burning fossil fuels. Rising temperatures correlate almost exactly with the release of greenhouse gases.
We're Sure
An overwhelming 99% of scientists agree that climate change is being caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. There is no meaningful debate about the basic science of climate change.
We can fix it.
The basic facts of climate crisis are grim: the vast majority of fossil fuel reserves need to stay in the ground for us to stay below 1.5°C of heating, and fossil fuel companies aren’t going to do that without a fight.
The fight needs to be taken to profiteering fossil fuel companies and weak and corrupt governments.
God Bless
