The claim that they would be needed for centuries more is fairly unfounded. Especially if we point out that we will have zero-carbon fuels that are chemically equivalent to fossil fuels but created by carbon capture powered by renewable energy (we are already playing with tech like that today, let alone centuries from now). But yes, using the word "absolutist" was in bad taste.
