It is important to reduce carbon emissions to preserve the planet, but oil and natural gas should not be demonized in the medium-term, Elon Musk said on Saturday. Earlier this week representatives from nearly 200 countries agreed at the COP28 climate summit to begin reducing global consumption of fossil fuels to avert the worst of climate change, signalling the eventual end of the oil age. "Climate change alarm is exaggerated in the short term," the US billionaire said, adding that the environmental movement may have gone too far, causing people to lose faith in the future. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/yoYXgcb via IFTTT
