The US's fossil fuel addiction has its roots in the early 20th century, when the country's economy was heavily reliant on coal and oil.

The climate crisis is a systemic issue that requires a fundamental shift in our values and worldview. The US's fossil fuel addiction is a symptom of a larger problem, rather than a new issue.
A rapid transition to renewable energy sources, carbon pricing, climate resilience infrastructure, and climate education and awareness are all necessary steps towards mitigating the worst effects of the climate crisis. The voices of marginalized communities must be centered in any discussion of the climate crisis, and international cooperation is essential for addressing this global issue.
