Yes! Fossil fuel industries, companies & workers in them can be part of solutions: a good reminder!: “we can use their expertise in offshore work for setting up offshore wind. And we can use their drilling + fracking expertise in geothermal drilling [without the chemicals] + water drilling as well. And there are workers already transferring to these other sectors of the economy. "Hope is that virtue by which we take responsibility for the future."”

It could be so good to see these different choices taken & rewarded. Fossil fuel companies don’t have to be ‘the bad guys’. They have so much capacity to be good guys. Sometimes I think they receive terribly poor advice that artificially restricts & limits their options when they could be powering away in new industries that we’d love them to lead.

Many people can't seem to grasp that when you alter one thing in a global ecosystem, it affects other things in that same ecosystem, causing more and more damage..

"Big increases in wildfires and heatwaves supercharged by the climate crisis are hindering improvements to air quality around the world, UN experts have said.

Regions that had recorded a fall in pollution emitted by cars and industrial sites are facing new threats to air quality because of exposure to smoke from wildfires, according to a new report, while rising temperatures caused by intense heatwaves are causing a surge in ground-level ozone.

In turn, the pollution generated by these climate-linked events is itself contributing to climate breakdown, creating a feedback loop that risks dragging the world deeper into environmental catastrophe."
