The Carbon Clock Is Ticking

📖 The Scoop

The science is unequivocal: fossil fuels are causing global warming and we must respond quickly if our children are going to survive. Carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS) won't work in time to stop the temperature rising and will result in crippling economic costs. Billions of dollars are being spent on propaganda about CCS/CCUS to deceive the public and hoodwink us into believing we can continue to use fossil fuels and stop the temperature rising. We cannot. ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, and Shell are holding humanity's feet to the fire by lying about CCS/CCUS. A data driven analysis confirms that it is financially viable to end fossil fuel use and make the transition to clean energy. In fact, it is much more feasible than giving trillions in tax dollars to the fossil fuel industry. Do not let ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, and Shell fool you with their big lies and unrealistic pie in the sky expectations for CCS/CCUS. These collusive practices are a betrayal of the public trust and will ensure the continued burning of fossil fuels at least until 2050, which constitutes a future crime against humanity. Put bluntly, the continued financing of the fossil fuel industry by the U.S. Congress will kill the future lives of many children and young people born in the 21st century. Knowing the deadly consequences for children and young people of the fossil fuel industry's moral bankruptcy, it is important the public finds ways to inform the decision-making process to ensure policymakers remove all subsidies for fossil fuels and develop renewable energy and electrification plans to reach net zero by 2030 to prevent further avoidable global warming. We must alter course and we must do it now.
