You can bet that none of these “global leaders” expect to be impacted themselves.

A world without fossil fuels would be a very different place, completely unrecognizable to what we have grown accustomed to. Travel would be nearly impossible. Manufacturing would be severely crippled. Our daily life would be turned upside down. The technologies and almost everything we rely upon to make life comfortable would vanish in an instant. Simply put, we would literally go back to a pre-industrial existence.

It's pretty amazing that they don't know this.

--- "Fossil fuels -- including coal, oil, and natural gas...."

.... are hydrocarbon fuels, not "fossil." The misuse of words is what the current Leftists have as weapons.

Ever tried burning a fossil?

Not exactly right.
Coal (in areas where it was easy to mine) have been used for heating since stone age.
The industrial revolution (since 1775) was all powered by coal!
Steel manufacturing on large scale, steam engines, railroads, steamboats - all powered by coal.
The rich areas in 19th century were all concentrated around coal deposits.

If they are serious then I suggest the start now, abandon their private jets and start walking home.

It is terrifying. I don’t think we’re taking it seriously enough, because we just assume that it’s so crazy nobody would sign onto it.

But the problem is that most of our “world leaders” already have signed up for it...or signed us up.

It will be imposed by force and maintained by an iron hand.

Does anyone even believe all these elites demanding changes like this are going to give up their private jets, limos or 20,000 sq ft mansions?
