Any "call to action" made by politicians who won't even be alive when their "promises" would come to fruition should never be taken seriously.
In 20 years ago there was no internet. Think about how much the world has changed in just 20 years. 85 years from now the world will be a vastly different place. I seriously doubt fossil fuels will be a problem.

Germany, for example, is already at 50%+ renewables w/ an additional 20%+ nuclear... what are we at?? Plants take a long long time to approve and build. Alberta is 85%+ coal and natural gas. We are already behind.
