About half of all potential future global warming emissions from United States fossil fuels lie in oil, gas and coal buried beneath our public lands, controlled by the federal government and owned by the American people - and not yet leased to private industry for fuel extraction. Lydia Millet

Future Government Lie People Half Extraction Beneath Our States About Potential Emissions Federal Federal Government Global Global Warming Industry Private American Owned Controlled Buried Oil Public Fuel Warming Fuels American People Lands Public Lands Coal Fossil Fossil Fuels United United States Gas

Of course methane is a fossil fuel, but as long as it is burned efficiently and fugitive emissions of methane gas are minimised, it is a less harmful fossil fuel than coal and oil and is an important way-station on the global journey towards low-carbon energy. Mark Walport

We live in a society that is powered by fossil fuels, but for the meantime, we're in it. Maybe there's, like, five people living in the woods off-grid, but they're spending all their time maintaining that, and they don't have much time left over for anything else. Naomi Klein

I think the fossil fuel industry is genuinely freaked out by the combination of the price collapse, the divestment movement, and that fact that renewable energy is getting so cheap so fast. Naomi Klein

Energy Think Collapse Out Freaked Fact Price Cheap Combination Industry Renewable Renewable Energy Genuinely Getting Movement Fuel Fossil Fossil Fuel Fast

Fossil fuels are - they're inherently centralized. And you need a lot of infrastructure to get them out, and you need a lot of infrastructure to transport it, as Obama was explaining in front of all that pipe, right? Whereas renewable energy is everywhere. Naomi Klein

There are things that government can do to incentivize the free market to do a better job, yes. But is that a replacement for getting in the way, actively, of the fossil fuel industry and preventing them from destroying our chances of a future on a livable planet? It's not a replacement. Naomi Klein

Future Government Better Job Free Market Our Way Destroying Preventing Free Market Better Job Industry Yes Replacement Getting Them Fuel Planet Livable Fossil Fossil Fuel Actively Things Chances

The Paris Agreement is, in fact, a historic one because it marks the culmination of a phase of very long, drawn-out negotiations involving more than 190 countries. Why is it historic? Because it shows the way for our societies to change from the ground up, to create an economy that only depends on fossil fuels to a very slight degree. Patricia Espinosa

The idea that human beings have changed and are changing the basic climate system of the Earth through their industrial activities and burning of fossil fuels - the essence of the Greens' theory of global warming - has about as much basis in science as Marxism and Freudianism. Paul Johnson

Science Changed Changing Earth System About Through Marxism Idea Global Industrial Global Warming Climate Essence Greens Human Human Beings Burning Warming Fuels Much Theory Fossil Beings Fossil Fuels Activities Basic Basis

The belief that the animals exist because God created them - and that he created them so we can better meet our needs - is contrary to our scientific understanding of evolution and, of course, to the fossil record, which shows the existence of non-human primates and other animals millions of years before there were any human beings at all. Peter Singer

God Needs Better Animals Understanding Before Other Meet Our Evolution Record He Course Because Scientific Were Years Exist Existence Contrary Any Human Human Beings Which Them Created Fossil Beings Shows Belief Millions Millions Of Years

Most importantly, I agree that the truth of these matters should be determined by interpretation of scientific evidence - experiments, fossil studies and the like. Phillip E. Johnson

Of course climate changes. Many changes are due to factors over which humans have no control, such as winds, ocean currents, and sun activity. But the liberals want us to believe that climate change is also caused by gases expelled when humans burn so-called fossil fuels. Phyllis Schlafly

If you had no new technology, and you powered society as we do today - mostly by fossil fuels - you'd have only two choices: Doom yourself to horrific climate change by burning all that carbon and releasing all that CO2. Or power down society, reducing total energy usage around the planet. Ramez Naam

To be clear, I don't know whether the fossil fuel industry and its allies engaged in the same kind of racketeering activity as the tobacco industry. We don't have enough information to make that conclusion. Perhaps it's all smoke and no fire. But there's an awful lot of smoke. Sheldon Whitehouse
