WTF? Transitioning away from fossil fuels is going to see us all have our arms and legs cut off, our nuts lopped off, and made blind? Just a little bit of hyperbole perchance?

In Greta Thunberg's speech, she talked about reducing global emissions by 50% within 10 years (something that will not happen, and if it did, would cause mass starvation and death) and yet she still proclaimed that that target was woefully unacceptable. The time for discussion to end is when someone actually proposes a plausible idea that will work.
Any you called the young Swede a fear monger? Holy ####.

So there is a comprehensive plan, it is realistic, and it would work? You mean Coloradoans won't lose their arms, legs, nuts, eyes, and starve to death??? You mean their are real alternatives to fossil fuels and we can transition away from them? No! This can't be true.
