Trump just said what it is all about.
The sooner the world sheds its addiction to fossil fuels, the better. The alternatives are available, plentiful and cheaper.

International law won't constrain Trump's thirst for oil. But every solar panel that goes up makes crude reserves that much less valuable

Look at what we are doing partly, if not largely, because of oil. So you’ll forgive me if I think the demand we support oil and gas is not only patently absurd but deeply morally offensive.
No one calling for continued oil and gas use should be referred to as a climate advocate. Ever.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

I look forward to the legally required, transparent peer review process required by the US Global Change Research Act and the Information Quality Act. I always thought they would try to do a NCA with Judith Curry, five old men and a LLM.
It’s the gold standard of US climate research. Contrarians could write the next one.
Researchers who have downplayed the threat of global warming have been asked to author the next National Climate Assessment.

I think the greatest gift that being part of our Ethics Initiative this year has given me is the scholarly framework to talk about how failing to phase out fossil fuels is ethically wrong. We can talk feasibility til our ears bleed but there’s an obvious moral aspect that doesn’t need cost analyses

Let me be explicit. If you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you.
Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewables are cheaper now.

The contradiction of conservatives is that by trying to conserve a way of life reliant on fossil fuels instead of conserving planetary health, they are driving enormous changes that will upend our societies… and the fossil fuels will run out anyway.

"AI could invent free renewable energy."
Or, y'know, we could deploy the stuff that works and is already cheaper than the fossil alternative, while doing the hard political work of figuring out how to pass the savings on to households, balancing the interests of shareholders and ratepayers.

It might be true that the world needs to remove ten billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year but it’s never going to happen for many different reasons: technical, financial, social, environmental, governance, etc. If we don’t reduce CO₂ emissions, we’re screwed. That’s it.
