Fossil Fuels ARE Green.

In Celebration of CO2 & Fossil Fuels Our Vision Our mission is very simple to state, but hard to implement because our voices are regularly silenced: To inform the public that CO2 is a benefit to our ecosystems and to humanity. Our membership includes many of the top experts in the various fields related to our changing climate. They act as a force multiplier and allow us to punch above our weight class. Below is a recently published article that confirms the many benefits and the need for more fossil fuels, not less. Fossil Fuels are the Greenest Energy Sources The CO2 Coalition just published an excellent article by member Indur Goklany concerning just how "green" fossil fuels are. According to Dr. Goklany, "Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels. First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., virtually all life on Earth." Second, fossil fuel dependent technologies have increased agricultural yields directly or indirectly by at least 167% (Goklany 2020). This increase in agricultural productivity is due to the use of fossil-fuel-dependent technologies, specifically, nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides and carbon dioxide fertilization resulting from fossil fuel emissions.  Read Fossil Fuels are the Greenest Energy Sources here.
