Two University of Michigan professors insist we \u201cmust reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to zero\u201d to stabilize the planet\u2019s temperature. But because 80% of our energy use still comes from carbon-based sources today, \u201cending it will not be easy.\u201d The death of all fossil fuel industry must be\u00a0imposed<\/em>, euthanasia-style.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It has now reached the point that academic elites are no longer concealing their real inclinations and intentions in massaged semantics or subtleties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two US business professors argue that the looming climate catastrophe (which they believe has been caused solely by human greenhouse gas emissions) necessitates that \u201cthe shape and structure of modern capitalism will have to be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more roads. No more plastic or steel  or electronic products. No more air travel. All the industries that use petroleum products of any kind, no matter how essential, must end this practice, effective immediately. Fossil fuel use must be 100% eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions? Estimates range from $100 to $150 trillion over the next 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And putting a price on carbon use doesn\u2019t nearly go far enough. It\u2019s not possible to get to zero emissions just by making fossil fuel use more expensive. The entire fossil fuel industry \u2013 the producers as well as the recipients \u2013 must undergo, as the authors put it, \u201ccompassionate destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is any resistance to the total destruction of fossil fuel use, then euthanasia<\/em> \u2013 \u201cthe act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals,\u201d must be put into practice. Imposed. Forced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA future in which we address climate change may require that the entire sector be euthanized, imposing death ahead of its imminent arrival.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not our job to question. The situation is so real, so dire, that our only job now is to \u201ccome to terms with the extreme decision that has to be made for the patient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
