Obstacle 1: Fossil fuel industry opposition

The speaker highlights the unrelenting opposition from the fossil fuel industry, which actively works to slow down progress and fights against climate solutions. The industry has used fraud and falsehoods on a large scale, capturing the policymaking process and hindering efforts for change. The fossil fuel companies have knowingly lied about the impact of their operations and have brazenly taken control of international climate conferences. These actions raise doubts about their sincerity and commitment to real change.
