"There can be no doubt that citizens across the world are saying to their leaders, you have to act and, above all, have to act faster," a U.N. official said. "This is an issue that almost everyone, everywhere, can agree on."
I find it funny when people associate fossil fuels with cars ONLY.
Almost everything you have on you right now, and in your home, was made using oil.
That’s why I asked what I did; I’m all for not using oil and moving to a cleaner approach, but no good solution has been proposed yet, and people that want to do it cold turkey are fools that don’t know any better.
Most people are talking about fossil fuels in terms of electricity and transport, which can and should be transitioned to renewable energy and electric vehicles as fast as possible (ideally with some people moving away from cars altogether).
And the poll itself is specifically talking about renewable energy, so it’s not like the article is confused on that point.
Yes, manufacturing is a harder problem, especially when it’s not just used as an energy source. But the easier problems need to be attacked as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of runaway climate change.
