1. The fossil fuel industry still has no solution to the 'CO2 problem'
2. The continuous emission of this gas poses an unacceptable risk to people and the environment.
3. There are many compounds more dangerous than plutonium, which we happily use in day-to-day life: botulinum, ricin, hydrazine.
4. A runaway greenhouse effect is hazardous for tens of thousands of years, if not permanent. This clearly is unprecedented and poses a huge threat to our future generations.
5. Many known geological repositories of carbon-based compounds (permafrost, bogs) are unstable; given the right triggers, the captured methane might emerge and threaten future generations.
6. Nobody knows the true cost of climate change. The costs are so high that fossil fuel use can never be economic.
Yet we make fossil fuel use economic to the tune of 6 trillion dollar in subsidies per year. So please, stop using your "facts" to delay action against fossil fuel use.
