Dear Fossil Fuel Industry - It's Over by Kaisa Kosonen and Daniel Mittler

Dear Fossil Fuel Industry - It's Over

IPCC, Berlin, April 2014(Credit: Greenpeace)
It's been a long week here in Berlin, with experts and government officials finalising urgently awaited conclusions from the United Nations climate change panel about the solutions to climate change. Now they’re done and the message is clear: climate action is an opportunity, not a burden!
The climate panel, which brings together the world's top energy and climate experts, says that to prevent catastrophic climate change, energy systems around the world must be urgently and fundamentally transformed. For Greenpeace, the bottom line is: we have to stop burning coal, oil and gas. And we can.
Clean, renewable energy is getting bigger, better and cheaper every day and can now provide the solutions the world needs. Renewables are the most economical solution for new power capacity in an ever increasing number of countries.
The "age of renewables" has arrived.http://www.commondreams.org/view/2014/04/14-3
