Carefully weighing the benefits and side-effects of continuing fossil fuel use includes factoring in: 1. FFs’ overall benefits 2. FFs’ "climate mastery" benefits (that can neutralize negative side-effects) 3. The climate side-effects of FFs with evenhandedness and precision — PolitiTweet.org

To determine the best policy toward fossil fuels—the energy source that powers most of the world, but whose CO2 emissions have a warming impact on its climate system—we need to follow a common-sense principle that is not common practice: carefully weigh benefits and side-effects. — PolitiTweet.org

I believe any honest and informed attempt to carefully weigh the benefits and side-effects of continuing fossil fuel use will conclude that "net zero by 2050" is apocalyptically destructive and that we need the "energy freedom" to use a lot of FFs + rapidly develop alternatives. — PolitiTweet.org
