Un Climate Change Report Shows Renewables Are Economically Viable Summing up, the elimination of fossil fuels remains a significant challenge due to their deep rooted presence in your energy systems, economies, and daily lives. you face obstacles ranging from dependency on these energy sources to the substantial costs involved in transitioning to alternatives. We review the vast scientific evidence showing that fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry are the root cause of the climate crisis, harm public health, worsen environmental injustice, accelerate biodiversity extinction, and fuel the petrochemical pollution crisis.
Un Climate Change Report Shows Renewables Are Economically Viable Earth day, which in 2016 marked the opening for signature of the paris agreement on climate change, now takes place amid record breaking global heat and rising fossil fuel production. Fossil fuel use is still rising despite positive steps by some countries including the uk and by the eu to wean themselves off the energy sources that do most to heat up our planet. Fossil fuel induced climate change and pollution are also accelerating extinction risk. up to one third of animals and plants could be lost forever in the next 50 years if fossil fuels go unchecked. Humans are running faster innovating efficiency and green energy just to stay in the same place of emissions. the article investigates the under researched deep causes of human caused climate change, namely the increasing demand for discretionary, energy intensive practices resulting from affluence.

Climate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels hit a record 37.4 billion metric tons in 2024, marking a 0.8% rise from the previous year – and dashing hopes that a peak in global emissions might occur this year. We’re seeing fewer jobs in fossil fuels, while in 2023, nearly 150,000 new clean energy jobs were created in a single year alone. 2021 was actually a really important year — that year clean. Climate research points to our reliance on fossil fuels as a primary contributor to human induced climate extremes from droughts to heavy rains and associated flooding. wildfires, air and environmental pollution impact communities around the world. It took the parties participating in un climate talks three decades to acknowledge that tackling fossil fuels is important for addressing climate change. this is a reminder that we may need to manage our expectations for the ability of this international forum to lead to the phase out of fossil fuels.
