Summary: If we look at the undeniable facts about FFs and climate using 3 irrefutable principles for thinking about FFs—factoring in fossil fuels’ 1) benefits, 2) climate mastery benefits, and 3) precise negative and positive climate side-effects—we clearly need more fossil fuel. — PolitiTweet.org

The bottom line with fossil fuels’ climate side-effects is that any negatives will continue to be masterable—and there will be benefits such as warming in cold places and continued global greening. This nowhere near apocalyptic—whereas losing FFs' benefits would be apocalyptic. — PolitiTweet.org

Note: To fully think about the benefits and side-effects of FFs you also must factor in non-climate side-effects, e.g., air/water emissions. I do this in Fossil Future. Bottom line: these are 1) hugely outweighed by benefits and 2) reducible cost-effectively as the US has shown. https://t.co/ZlXCyC3BL9 — PolitiTweet.org
