Climate
change dictates that we cannot meet our energy needs by tapping new
supplies of fossil fuels. We need to phase out the use of oil, coal and
gas and make a switch to clean renewable energy.
If we are to
prevent dangerous levels of climate change we cannot afford to burn more
than one-quarter of the global oil reserves. The search for new oil
reserves is not just illogical, it is insane. Any new oil found would
simply add to the stockpile of oil we can never safely use.
