When faced with uncertainty, I find solace in reminding myself of the truths surrounding fossil fuels and their catastrophic impact on our planet. The ongoing use of fossil fuels is leading to irreversible overheating, which threatens all life on Earth. It's disheartening to realize that oil and gas executives, fully aware of this truth, have chosen deception over action. This conscious choice to obstruct climate transition is an ongoing tragedy that we must address. The stakes are enormous.
The crisis of planetary overheating is not just an environmental issue, but deeply tied to extractive colonial capitalism that fuels vast social inequities. The system is designed to siphon wealth from the vulnerable to the ultra-wealthy, leading to a cascade of challenges including healthcare and housing crises, systemic racism, and other forms of oppression. To fight for a habitable planet is to challenge these intertwined injustices that perpetuate global suffering, all while the technology for clean energy exists.
