That is 4 times faster than renewables, 2.8 times faster than oil and 50 per cent faster than gas. That's hardly justification for a requiem. --Brendan Pearson and Michael Roche, The Australian, 16 June 2015 It has become urgent and compelling to develop policies so that in the coming years the emission of carbon dioxide and other highly polluting gases is reduced drastically, for instance by replacing fossil fuels and by developing renewable energy sources. --Leaked Papal Encyclical, 15 June 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_growth_elec.jpg
