Why we must win the fight against unscrupulous money-makers, egomaniacal state leaders, and deceitful propagandists. The world is in the final phase of a cultural battle: greed versus justice, destruction versus sustainability, cynicism versus empathy. Nothing illustrates this more clearly than the reactions to the climate catastrophe: on one side are those trying to prevent the worst, and on the other are those doing everything to profit from burning fossil fuels. For decades, the ultra-rich and companies that profit from CO₂ production have sown doubt through ruthless disinformation about whether our addiction to fossil fuels is heating the planet. It is no coincidence that the main beneficiaries of climate destruction are people who care little for democratic values and human rights – often, enthusiasm for fossil fuels and rejection of climate protection go hand in hand with reactionary positions. The cartel of fossil fuel advocates includes figures like Mohammed bin Salman, Vladimir Putin, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, and Mathias Döpfner, supported by actors like Sahra Wagenknecht. In many current political discourses and military conflicts, the underlying issue is ultimately CO₂ – and a lot of money. Christian Stöcker shows that it is now crucial for us to save the world for our children from the fossil fuel advocates and deceivers, liars and kleptocrats who profit from oil and gas. He provides us with the arguments we need to clearly demonstrate in public and private debates why the fossil age is over and the future lies in renewable energies.
