To stop the usage of fossil fuel is the only way to combat global warming

" the effects of pollutants of fossil fuel on life and property are extreme. If stop the use the use of fossil fuel these effects will completely removed. "Fossil Fuel powered cars have been around for 100 years and most of them got about 4 miles to the gallon. Trains and steamships used top run entirely on coal and have been around for 200 years and counting. Airplanes have always run on gasoline and they have been around for a good number of decades too. coal power plants were the earliest form of electricity and for a while was the only way to generate electricity in the world. All this went on for decades and decades, and in response to this abuse that has lasted 100 years, the Earth's temperatures rose just by 1 degree. .. .. .The effects of these fossil fuels are benign even in ridiculously large quantities, but their effect can be removed if human actions were cancelled through a multitude of ways that are more practical to implement and more cost effective to work with then stopping all consumption of fossil fuels. "I hope we all understand the requirement of stopping fossil fuel. It will be put to effect immeadetely. "Which is impossible to enforce, impractical to commerce, lethal to economies both modern and developing, and most of all extreme and unnecessary. We don't need to eliminate all fossil fuel consumption to offset global warming, we just have to go with the flow of making engines more efficient, using greener technologies, and thinking outside the box to fight global warming. Dropped arguments by the Pro: - It is not practical to stop the usage of all fossil fuels because it cant be enforced and would cripple economies around the world - Many countries depend on fossil fuel use to become industrialized and those countries aren't even the biggest consumers of fossil fuels. If the top countries were to go greener it would offset all the other countries that depend on fossil fuel consumption pollution wise. - Airplanes, cars, trucks, trains almost all run on fossil fuels, if we immediately stopped consumption of them transportation and commerce as we know it would die - Making cars more efficient and the increased use of public transportation rather than individual transportation can substantially reduce the amount of CO2 produced even though these green machines do run on fossil fuels - Sunspot activity is expected to hit a low in the near future and since sunspot activity correlates to temperatures on Earth, the best way to stop global warming could quite literally be to wait a few years. - Millions and millions of people in the world are employed in the mining or drilling or refining or distribution of fossil fuels. They would all be unemployed if we were to suddenly cease consumption of fossil fuels - There are numerous other green technologies and high tech ways we can fight global warming. Almost all of which are more practical, feasible, and cost effective - The Earth can tolerate rising temperatures without all life being destroyed. Over the past 100 years temperatures have only risen 1 degree total whereas Earth could still tolerate a rise of 6 degrees. This means that the Earth isn't living on the edge, there is room to work with temperature wise and we still have room to work with to reduce global warming without resorting to drastic measures. Such measures would be stopping the use of all fossil fuels completely - The Earth is massive, and so is its atmosphere. The atmosphere can absorb large amounts of CO2 without there being a dire effect on global warming so we don't need to penny pinch, we only need to reduce our output or offset it through the use of greener technologiesAnd most importantly of all - The Earth naturally has ways of removing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis of plants and other producer organisms. We do not need to stop all emissions of CO2 by stopping all consumption of fossil fuels, we only need to reduce emissions enough so that the amount of CO2 produced minus the amount of CO2 that is photosynthesized by plants is either Zero or negligible. I hope I have satisfied my BOP that stopping fossil fuel consumption is not the only way to stop global warming.
