Arresting killers won’t resurrect their victims, but will prevent them to keep killing. That is the future that you can change. They are still lobbying for more emissions, more extraction, more burning, more dependence, in all the world.

Most of the places building new fossil fuel plants are the ones with LOW emissions in the past. That's literally my whole point.

But that doesn’t take out responsibility on the consequences of the current excess of GHG in the atmosphere right now. Yes, it is bad to keep adding fuel to the fire, or increasing on that, but if it is so hot now is because all the past burning too.
