German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the Group of Seven wealthy democracies have agreed that the world should phase out the use of fossil fuels by the end of this century.

Merkel said Monday that the G-7 leaders committed themselves to the need to “decarbonize the global economy in the course of this century.”

That is a technical term for ending the use of oil, gas and coal – but not nuclear power – and replacing them with alternative sources of energy such as wind and solar power.

I’m buying stock in the Amish Buggy market.

Long after all of them are dead. LOL

[JJ_Folderol]

Yeah, that’ll stop the muzzies from taking over the world.

Don’t these effing idiots realize the danger staring them in the face?

[MrB]

Yeah, I’d say if they wanted us to take their “problem” seriously,

let them live NOW like they propose the rest of us do then.

[Truth29]

It is things like this that makes me think that humanity deserves to go extinct.

[bgill]

Please send a reminder ping closer to the date.

[MrB]

Common enemy in Christ.
That explains it.

How can they be a “good person” for caring about the earth if Christians are around to remind them that all their “caring” matters not one bit on judgment day?

Better to support Muzzies in exterminating Christians.

ID like to decarbonize these idiots

[ArcadeQuarters]

Could be possible, although we might have to starve half the world to do it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Commit to something that none of you will be alive to see fail. That’s political courage, I tell ya.

[headstamp 2]

Idiocy.

Our entire world is based on carbon. We are carbon life forms.

The petrochemical industry is virtually responsible for our modern way of life we enjoy today.

[a fool in paradise]

Will the nuclear holocaust happen by 2100?

[going hot]

Buggy whips are going to make a comeback?

[rktman]

Cool. More for us. Oh, wait are we part of the maleficent 7? Anyway, whatever they don’t want......... Just sayin’. One question, how much synthetic lube do they have and where do they get it? My own lubemelon tree hasn’t produced a single melon this year. Oh, only “fuels”. I see.

[boycott]

I will agree to do my part. I will be almost 140 by then so I don’t believe it will be a problem.

That's why my comment in #2 above about Amish buggies.

These people 'hate' this industrial world. They'd be much happier as princes and princesses on steeds with the serfs in the fields.

I'm serious about that.

[redgolum]

This will involve dropping the population to pre Industrial levels world wide.

Oh, and the end of most medicines also.

Not sure if I would feel comfortable flying in a solar powered G-550.
