However, “net-zero” is a term that conveniently obscures multiple futures. There could be a version of net-zero where the fossil fuel industry continues to emit tens of billions of tons of CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e into the atmosphere while establishing an industry for extracting it. Holly Buck argues that focusing on emissions diverts our attention from where we need to be looking: the point of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is time to plan for the end of fossil fuels and the companies that profit from them. Fossil fuels still supply 80% of world energy, and ending their use before ready alternatives are available poses the risk of energy poverty. The fossil fuel industry provides jobs and is also a revenue source for some frontline communities. Conventional wisdom suggests that fossil fuels will naturally become obsolete when cheaper alternatives arise, but this assumption raises as many problems as it resolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnding Fossil Fuels\u003c\/i\u003e tackles these issues seriously and sets out a roadmap offering opportunities for a more liveable, inclusive future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854476955884,"sku":"9781839762345","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16d527226b5f60479e4a847fbf5b0ed6.jpg?v=1759269652","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/ending-fossil-fuels-by-holly-jean-buck-9781839762345","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
