If only that were true.

The truth is that it’s going to keep getting worse for quite some time.

How much worse is still up to us.

We HAVE to end the oil industry.

It's just that, by killing the fossil fuel industry, we'd be locking in an end date for things getting worse and then, if we work just a little harder, maybe things can start to actually get *better.*

Even if we stop completely the oil industry today still too late.

We continue to underestimate how far the most corrupt industry on the planet is willing to go to keep its hegemony.

Fossil fuel forecasts predict a billion climate deaths.

Mass murder in the offing & Trump’s regime is outraged over the ICC considering adding ecocide as crime against humanity & the Heritage Foundation wants to dismantle the EU if it switches to solar & wind.

And that's on the assumption we know perfectly how climate feedbacks will operate in the interim, which we don't.
