Heat waves have killed thousands this year. Experts say the worst could be yet to come: Across the world, climate change is driving deadly heat — it will only worsen unless we end fossil fuels
To be fair, it will continue to worsen after we stop using fossil fuels for a few years since the effects "ramp up." So if this is bad now, we should really stop ASAP.
Yeah I feel like at the pace the earth works, we've pretty much guaranteed a couple of generations of misery even if we solve this today. It won't be solved today, not with the shit they have us fighting each other about. Meanwhile, Musk and Bezos saw Wall-E and have taken cues.
While I am of the camp that we will not stop using them any time soon due to their other uses (plastics, lubricants, synthetics, ect.) I strongly feel that we should stop burning them. There is no reason for the emission and GHGs to continue. Though I also wish we could put more effort into finding total fossil fuel replacement for the other uses as well.
