Deaths from extreme weather have decreased 98% over the last century! https://t.co/mOQPVHFX1P — PolitiTweet.org

Myth 4: We don't need fossil fuels to protect ourselves from extreme weather—we can just use alternatives. Truth: As Europe is illustrating, there is no near-term replacement for FFs for the 1/4 of the world that uses abundant energy—let alone the 3/4 of the world that doesn't. — PolitiTweet.org
