CNN’s Bill Weir: The Only Way to Stop Climate Change Is to Stop Using Fuels that Burn
EXCERPT:
CABRERA: "That picture just was so — so eye-opening. And we heard last week the President announcing policies on carbon emissions and electric vehicles. We're going to be upping the ante there, 50% of cars sold in the U.S. by 2030 will have to be electric vehicles. Today, Senate Democrats also unveiled some new climate provisions. If all of that is actually implemented, will it be enough?"
WEIR: "It would be a start, but a very small one. It would be a Dixie cup of water going into a five alarm fire, frankly, because ultimately what science agrees on now, unequivocally, is the only way to stop this from going out of control is to stop using fuels that burn. And the faster we do that, the better, the more life that can be saved. But look around you, everything we touch is in some way based with fossil fuels. So everything has to change, but it would be a start."
