The continent is experiencing some of its biggest fires and highest temperatures ever. Residents are fleeing, leaders are struggling to respond and “it will get worse,” one climate expert said.
The thing is that this is not a temporary crisis. It is the consequence of a slow geological change that is not even in full effect now. It will become worse and worse until mankind stops burning fossil fuels, which are the cause of all this.
which will never ever happen…
Everyone stops smoking eventually.
Eventually we will stop burning fossil fuels… Same concept 🙃
It definitely will happen, it’s more a matter of does it happen because we choose to or because we break the planet so badly we stop existing at scale
Second one… i ment it that way.
Well no. At some point it will become too much expensive to extract them to be able to continue to use them.
Not considering that sooner or later someone will realize that it would be less expensive, in the long run, to devolop a serious alternative to the oil (be sun, wind, nuclear or whatever else) than be subject to the blackmail of a single state and/or person which would decide that it is a great idea to start a war just because. And this, as a byproduct, will also resolve most of the problems in the middle east region since without oil they had nothing.
