3. The inconvenient truth (for the oil lobby) is that energy efficiency and renewable energy options that eliminate the need for oil and gas can be deployed much faster than oil pipelines & liquefied natural gas terminals.

4. Even more terrifying for oil boosters is the prospect of the financial sanctions that have been used against Russia — to such devastating effect — being deployed against fossil fuels. Imagine if all oil, coal & gas companies were cut off from banks & ill-gotten wealth this way

5. The invasion of Ukraine is reminding us that war is terribly, unforgivably wrong.
So is destabilizing climate. Latest IPCC report was “an atlas of human suffering.” Climate change is killing people, destroying homes/livelihoods, and laying waste to infrastructure & ecosystems

6. It will get a lot worse. Unless we replace fossil fuels with cleaner energy, backed by programs to help affected workers & communities. This transition has begun & brings with it a peace dividend.

7. If we want to avoid future wars fueled by oil and the worst effects of climate change, we need to accelerate the shift to renewable energy sources.
For a safer, greener and more peaceful world.

@climatekeith
Opinion counters oil lobby’s push to expand production in light of war in Ukraine. The real solution is to get off oil/gas.
