'Increasing fossil fuel production will not make the world safer,' writes WenonahHauter foodandwater, 'it will only exacerbate the already rapidly escalating climate crisis.'
Amid the mounting crisis in Ukraine, fossil fuel giants and an array of political leaders are using the guise of"global security" to promote an agenda that strengthens the dominance of dirty energy for decades to come.
Increasing fossil fuel production will not make the world safer, or provide any short-term relief for families struggling to pay sky-high energy or gas bills; it will only exacerbate the already rapidly escalating climate crisis. In this context, calls for increasing fossil fuel production to address the immediate situation in Europe make little sense. This would not provide an effective short-term solution; oil rigs cannot immediately start pumping, and gas export facilities take years to complete. The real point of some of this pressure is to fulfill the long-term plans of the dirty energy industry by bolstering its position in the global energy market for decades to come.
