Millions would probably die in the resulting resource wars alone. #ClimateCrisis
#Renewables cannot simply be plugged in 1:1 so our lives of pathological planetary #overshoot can roll merrily on in the absence of fossil fuels. That's the part no one - especially our "leaders" - wants to say out loud.
Humanity finds itself in a real predicament. Too bad we didn't start taking this stuff seriously 40 years ago.

Edit:
I consider myself a moderate, and have been promoting slow change for a decade or so. But few have listened to scientist and people that thought they was worth listening to. Time us running out, and few options left.
