    A more correct way of saying it is,
    If we don't phase out fossil fuels fast enough, we won't be able to achieve the limit of 1.5°. C. Increase
    But saying that the world would fall into chaos if we changed and did the right thing..
    Is very similar to slave owners saying that this nation was built on slavery and without it we can't imagine a better future. So we won't.

      Unfortunately I don't think anything we do now will have any effect for hundreds of years, like someone dying of lung cancer giving up smoking the damage to the Earth is already done.
      Humanities best chance of survival is to try and adapt to the changing world.

    American living in Portugal here. Portugal regularly runs on 87% renewables and last month ran for 6 days on 100% renewables with energy to spare. Its in several publications if you Google it

      It’s actually very impressive what Portugal has done. Unfortunately it’s a lot harder to do in a country with 100x the land mass and 33x the population. At least in such a short amount of time.

    It's simple, Arrogance and cronyism. There is one thing that's become apparent, these people are scared, it's either people are tired of fossil fuels price swings or people just want to live their short lives stewarding the place they live.

    If the entire world stopped emitting all greenhouse gases we still have to remove the excess greenhouses gases we have added to the atmosphere. Phasing out fossil fuels is not enough. Renewables are not the answer even if they were a viable alternative, which they are not
