I understand all of that.
Oil and gas are fossil fuels. That's what they are. You can go google the same definitions and questions, what are oil and gas, what are fossil fuels, are oil and gas fossil fuels, etc.
So to make a statement "phase out fossil fuels" means to literally phase out oil and gas. So why would I interpret the phasing out of fossil fuels as the phasing out of oil and gas? Because that is literally what you guys are saying, that is why.
Maybe people should be more clear, or provide the proper clarifications, such as "phase out the burning of fossil fuels".
An example:
"we need to phase out X"
"but if you do that there are disastrous consequences with Y, which is literally made from X"
"no but YOU misunderstood. I said phase out X why would you claim Y would get phased out?"
"because Y is literally X"
"no that's your misinterpretation. We mean phase out X EXCEPT FOR Y. YOUR mistake."
Ahhhh okay. Sounds good.
