Of course it matters! If you don't use it at all, it stays in the ground.
- ephbit 4y agoI did not claim that using fossil energy does not matter itself. My claim is that if you do use it, then it does not matter (much, in the context of heating up the earth) what you use it for. I also wrote: > No, heat pumps don't heat up the earth. Using fossil fuels does. The second sentence IMO could also have told you, that I'm critical of using fossil energy and you don't need to point it out to me. No need to artificially construct disagreement where there's none.
