About our Energy Systems and their impact on our Climate

‘We are careering towards the edge of the abyss.'1

‘Every year energy use increases, & most of the increases come from fossil fuels.'2

‘The carbon intensity of the world’s energy supply in 2015 equaled that in 1995; humanity wasted two precious decades.'3
