The Urgent Need for Climate Action: Extreme Heat Records Broken.
TL;DR Summary
The world must phase out fossil fuels in a just and equitable way, moving to leave oil, coal, and gas in the ground, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. However, we have no current way of producing goods in a fossil-fuel-free way, especially not at a civilizational scale. We have no idea how to produce food, glass, steel, cement, and nearly every other input that goes into these fields without fossil fuels. The biggest wave of investment in human history is needed to create a dozen or more Manhattan Projects to solve these problems.
