Abolition

The 'gradualist' approach has manifestly failed and I think we need a more sustained radical and moral approach to the problem of climate change.

Namely, Abolition.

We have to completely abolish the fossil fuel industry by the end of the century, and achieve at least 80-90% abolition by the middle of the century.

By this I mean the exploration, inventorying, trading, listing, mining, selling, exporting, exchanging and of course above all the burning of coal, oil and gas all have to be completely abolished.

It doesn't really matter how it's done, so long as it is done.
