The Inertia in the Sector of Fossil Fuel Production
Inertia is absolutely central categoryad and something that people tend to not appreciate fully. Just look at norway, or the neighboring country here, where i am, the largest oil and gas producer in europe, if you exclude russia. In 20 19, they inaugurated the largest oil field ever, called Svirdrup, and that's slated to operate until 20 70. So the interest there, of course, is to keep this oil filled ing for half a century. This kind of planning completely blows apart any carbon budget,. Any reasonable trajectory for getting out of the scenaria were moving toward switches. Three degrees of warming the century, which will be unspeakable catastrophe.
