let me get that I have your message correctly -----

"I ultimately don't care if climate change is real or not"

"I just want to see the end of fossil fuels and major mining"

so - what you are saying is that - whether or not climate change is real ---------- lets say it isn't for example -

so, it isn't real ---------- hence it cannot be causing major weather events - but, you want fossil fuels banned and major mining banned -

even though, they have nothing to do with climate change (if that is so)

??????????? I apologize if there is some logic there to follow ------------ I for one, cannot see any at all.

Lets get a few facts straight here ------------- lets assume that man made climate change does not exist -

even then it would be rather smart to go to non fossil and non weather dependent power generation - because - whether we cause it or not - the climate does change - that's a fact of how earth works - so, one day - we will have an ice age - and if we are to even remotely survive it - without going back to the stone age - we will require large amounts of power and that power will NOT be weather dependent - nor will it be from fossil fuels.

As to banning major mining --------------------------- huh?

To do that - just sends us straight back to PRE stone age - as people mined during the stone age - in far larger ways than most of us imagined.

The greatest challenges for human survival of modern man have come from climate change --------- ice ages.

There will be other challenges - huge volcanic activity - but, that is probably less likely than an ice age in the future - at least to effect the entire planet.

And, if we did have some global event that shrouded the planet in dust - then whatever power generation that we have built to survive and ice age - will also do to survive being covered in dust.

Any or all of that - and any human activity from the last thousands of years back to wherever we want to imagine in the future will require large mining operations and/or large recycling operations ------- it's that simple

You're going to have to give me a few minutes to decipher that mess.
