Summary

______________________________________________________________

“Trump's rescue plan for the fossil fuel sector is multipronged: bury the evidence that climate change is happening by stopping research; cut the programs that are tasked with coping with the real-world impacts of climate disruption; and remove all barriers to an acceleration of the very activities that are fueling the crisis- drilling for more oil and gas, mining and burning more coal.”
“If oil rises to more than $80 a barrel, then the scramble to dig up and burn the dirtiest fossil fuels, including those under melting ice, will be back on. A price rebound would unleash a global frenzy in new high-risk, high-carbon fossil fuel extraction, from the Arctic to the tar sands.”
“Responding effectively to climate change requires throwing out the entire pro-corporate economic playbook- which is one of the main reasons so many right-wing ideologues are determined to deny its reality.”
“We are all part of system that takes endlessly from the earth's natural bounty, without protecting cycles of regeneration, and while playing dangerously little attention to where we are offloading pollution, whether it be into the water systems that sustain life or the atmosphere that keeps our climate system in balance.”
“The root cause of the climate crisis- and it's the dominant economic logic of our time: extractivisim to feed perpetual growth rooted in ever-increasing consumption.”
