    Let’s not rush the transition to clean energy, it might disrupt part of the economy that need fossil fuel. /s

    The world isn’t just paying for the US’ inability to honor the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. It’s paying for shortsightedness w-r-t energy and fossiel fuel.

      Well go ahead and show us. Show us how human history up to 1859 was 100% renewable.

      Show us how to support 8 billion people without fossil fuels.

      8 billion people without fossil fuels and you think we’ll have exactly the same life and just magically switch to rainbows?

        2023 IPCC report: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/ For a TL;DR see page 27 of Summary for Policymakers

        The Shift Projects publications on decarbonisation: https://theshiftproject.org/en/publications/ This NGO publishes sector-specific analysis often focusing on France

        Plans for energy and transport sectors typically improve rapid electrification and move to renwables, varying levels of nuclear, and a residual amount of fossiel fuel or biofuel. Combined with efficiency, sobriety in energy and resources uses.

        There was so much delaying and lobbying against change, that avoding the worse now require accelerating change in basically every sector, because every sector is dependent in some way on fossiel fuels. No single person can understand and know all sectors at a deep level. Analysing this require large group of people with expert in different fields. For instance the IPCC and The Shift Project.
