Stop Fossil Fuels

Stop Fossil Fuels researches and disseminates effective strategies and tactics to halt fossil fuel combustion as fast as possible.

From 2009 to 2016, total world energy consumption increased 15%. If you don’t consider hydroelectric dams which kill rivers and displace humans to be “renewable,” then more than 4⁄5 of the new demand was met by dirty energy. #StopFossilFuels

With the deadline for keeping global warming below 1.5C quickly approaching, the time for renewable energy is yesterday. Can we break our fossil fuel addiction and create real change?

Do you think coal power is disappearing, being replaced by cleaner natural gas and renewable energy? Think again.

Civilization is a heat engine. The climate ramifications of that is a rabbit-hole where even confirmed preppers should shiver. This interview explores the clouds, the climate, and the Arctic with a side-order of inevitable collapse.

The latest energy data clearly shows we aren't reducing fossil fuel burn. Just the opposite. We keep cranking the tap open wider every year.

What determines our climate fate is how much climate-polluting fossil fuels we burn. Renewables are great but only if they actually replace oil, gas, or coal. Sadly, the new business-as-usual is one in which we keep expanding both renewables and fossil fuels at the same time.

What determines our climate fate is how much climate-polluting fossil fuels we decide to burn. Renewables are great but only if they actually replace oil, gas, or coal. Sadly, rising renewables haven't stopped our fossil fuel burn, or our atmosphere's CO2 from continuing to rise.

The climate doesn't care how many solar panels and wind farms we build. We must #StopFossilFuels.

[Stop Fossil Fuels @StopFossFuels]

Renewables are only a solution if they actually replace fossil fuels. They don't.

Orange: increase in global energy consumption since 2009.

Green: increase in hydropower, wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal & biomass.

[Stop Fossil Fuels @StopFossFuels]

Regardless of how many solar panels and wind turbines are installed, we must proactively stop the burning of fossil fuels as quickly as possible. #StopFossilFuels

We can’t wait for “enough” renewables to be in place before transitioning; we have neither the time to spare, nor assurance that more renewables will even decrease fossil fuel use. #StopFossilFuels

From 2009 to 2016, total world energy consumption increased 15%. New renewables supplied less than 30% of the growth in demand, with the great majority met by fossil fuels. #StopFossilFuels

Industrial society is responding to ecological and climate crises not as a rational actor in control over its decisions, but instead as an energy addict using as much as it can get, whether clean or dirty. #StopFossilFuels

[Stop Fossil Fuels @StopFossFuels]

Renewable energy is growing at unprecedented rates, but isn't slowing the much faster growth of fossil fuel burn. Green tech is not a solution. #StopFossilFuels

The world may be burning, but more and more companies are giving us green alternatives to our favorite products so we can continue to shop and consume the same way we always have, but without hurting the Earth—or so they would like us to believe.

What will be your role in the story? Will you countenance the foolish facade of green industrialism? Will you recognize the perils yet cling helplessly, awaiting fate? Or will you take a shot at bringing our society back to earth; will you help #StopFossilFuels?

[Stop Fossil Fuels @StopFossFuels]

Industrial activity has poisoned the water, soil, and air, destabilized the climate, eroded the topsoil, dammed the rivers, and clearcut the forests we’ll need for survival—and it continues to do so at accelerating rates.

[Stop Fossil Fuels @StopFossFuels]

We’ve made ourselves dependent on our technology. It seems too far to fall if we give it up, so we can’t see through the short term fears to the long term benefits. But we must #StopFossilFuels.
