The science is clear: burning existing & already planned fossil fuel reserves means global warming will exceed 1.5°C level & possibly 2°C.
This would break the commitments that every country made in the 2015 Paris Agreement.

(1) Expand fossil fuel infrastructure & let the globe continue to rapidly warm.
(2) Expand fossil fuel infrastructure & rely on capturing emissions in largely unproven ways.
(3) Invest in proven alternatives to rapidly reduce & then phase out fossil fuel use.
