The urgency of climate action has been underscored by 2023, the hottest year on record, with global temperatures nearly 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. This alarming trend, driven by carbon dioxide emissions, has resulted in devastating climate-related disasters worldwide. The continuation of fossil fuel consumption at the current rate threatens to exacerbate this crisis. It is imperative to halt subsidies to oil companies, which perpetuate reliance on fossil fuels. Instead, these resources should be redirected towards the development and implementation of alternative energy sources. This shift is not only environmentally responsible but also economically strategic, as it fosters innovation and job creation in sustainable industries. The future of our planet depends on such decisive action.
