Wazzup Pilipinas!?
For decades, fossil fuel giants have been holding back progress towards achieving a carbon-free future. In fact, they’re making the problem worse by expanding production.
Yet, governments are planning fossil fuel production that will result in more than double the safe level of emissions by 2030.
That’s right, we’ve already got enough fossil fuels to blast through the limit deemed safe for humanity.
Projected carbon dioxide emissions from all the fossil fuel-producing infrastructure that currently exists (including under-construction oil and gas fields and coal mines) would warm the world beyond the 1.5 degree Celsius, a global climate target that aims to limit warming to said level by 2100, in order to prevent the planet from slipping into further climate crises.
What’s more, investing in clean energy instead of fossil fuels would not only reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and result in 30 times the number of jobs created by a comparable investment in fossil fuels, it’s also already way cheaper.
It’s almost the end of 2023 as we reach 2024, and fossil fuel projects are still being given the green light. That needs to end, now.
