Decided to add climate evangelist to my titles because we need much more than just Greta Thunberg doing this.

We need to stop burning fossil fuels as soon as possible.

That's the only way to stop climate change.

Anyone saying different is bullshitting you.

This means that we will need to RESTRUCTURE SOCIETY.

BUSINESS AS USUAL IS NOT AN OPTION.

We need to find ways of living that don't damage the environment further, and which allow us to cope with the effects of climate change.

We need much deeper changes than just 'electric cars' and 'clean fuels'.

Following a recent discussion on here, I found an infographic on what we get from crude oil, and there are a huge number of products that we DO get, people normally think of the components of Petrol, diesel.

I made a blog post about this, it is just not published yet.

So what I want to do help from others ( website pages can be linked together) is to look at these products and research

1. Can we live without them ( if we can then adapt and stop using them)
2. Can we develop sustainable alternatives
3. How can we do this ( we need more people to study chemistry for example)
4. We need to invest in 3 so we can do 2
5. What is the product ENTIRE lifecycle

As you said here we need to just stop using polluting products but we also need to change so much about how we live.

Hopefully here on fedi, as we can have rational / civilised / science based discussions we can come up with some real alternative plans.

My blog is here, and the mentioned posts are scheduled for the next few days, if I republish manually they will federate, otherwise I can just post a link here.

I don't want to make this seem like a pro-oil argument, I want to make this so people apply critical thinking in to what we get from oil and what alternatives we can develop and what to do if we can't.
