"Coal, oil and gas are at the heart of the climate crisis: burning them
produces carbon dioxide, and that is heating the planet, so far to 1.5C above
preindustrial levels, and in future perhaps to more than 2.5C, a level that
would lead to widespread and irreversible damage. Only by ending the use of
fossil fuels can we hope to halt the upward march of temperatures, and recover
a livable climate. But modern economies have grown rich on 200 years of fossil
fuel use, and until recently – in the past 20 years, when advances in wind and
solar power and electric vehicles made possible societies based on renewable
energy – there was little alternative."
