And what does the science say? It is clear. We must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all. And "all" includes the inhabitants of those countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

The idea *suppliers* of fossil fuels are neutral meeters-of-demand remains one of the worst lies
Their job is not just digging up fossil fuels: their job is bullying, pushing, fighting, lying and lobbying to ensure fossil fuels get burned as much as possible

Scitech (WA Science Museum) is sponsored by a few fossil fuel companies. Including Woodside who provide "free" access to STEM club for kids.
Free = access to educational opportunities in exchange for promoting Woodside. The cost to students is the loss of a liveable planet.

The final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.
It will undermine the nation's energy security, drive up energy prices & is the greatest giveaway of Australian natural resources ever.
