People whose entire lives rely on fossil fuels who don't contribute anything to the material wealth of a society telling everyone else it's time to "get real".
Like many moronic short-sighted ideas by people who aren't as smart as they think they are, it'll lead to mass death. I call these people "genocide advocates" because if they get their way, a billion people almost immediately die.
The same sort of arrogant people actually got power in the Soviet Union and Maos China and the result was exactly as I said.
Ironically, the people calling for an end to an end to fossil fuels are literally bourgeoisie -- city people. They type on their keyboard made out of petrochemicals and look at their screens made of petrochemicals and sit in their chairs made our of petrochemicals in homes made of petrochemicals and write about how we need to end fossil fuels using electricity that even if it's produced with solar was in reality often made using fossil fuels because the devices were made in China, which burns more coal than every other country on earth combined.
Reality is that we can't rely on fossil fuels forever. Eventually there just aren't any more dead forests to burn and there's a real problem with things like climate. Thing is, it isn't a switch we can just magically flip. These people have no idea what the fundamental challenges of energy are. It's not something we magically do by 2030 because someone signed a paper. In fact, if they got what they wanted there'd be civil wars and decarbonization would become a dirty word for generations.
