    Wooks08, you could do well to understand the article in the Scientic American that Dan highlights. There is no evidence that the forecasted 1 - 3C rise will occur by the end of this century. They were just poor computer models that the IPCC kept referring to which drove alarm. And coming back from that timing, even the increasing CO2 levels fail to explain NOA's satellite global temperature fall since 2016. We have had warming and now we are getting the cold.

    The real concern with fossil fuels is that the lack of cumulative profit means less investment in exploration and with that the following shortfall in reliable fuels causing blackouts Pressure by Australia's State governments with their costly delaying practices (see e.g. New Acland 3 extention) to restrict coal mining has seen the price of thermal coal rise from $50 in 2021 to over $450 today. The last decades have seen many of the BHPs of this world stop looking. And electricity reliability issues are creeping onto the front pages of the main stream media. More and more nations have conformed to the IPCC mantras that ordain renewables but foremost Germany have been made to look like fools by relying on Russian gas. This reliance on Russia's gas as the least hydrocarbon polluting energy source had been established to quell the leftist call for renewables. This is a Germany which has made every effort to build billions of dollars of renewables over many decades only to need just as much fossil fuel to keep the lights on today. Their failure only gets worst but other countries have seen this and have recommissioned coal fired power plants to maintain reliability. There is plenty of evidence for a contrary view.
