Obstacle 1: Opposition from the Fossil Fuel Industry

The main obstacle to cutting down emissions is the unrelenting opposition from the fossil fuel industry. They use lobbyists, fixers, and their economic networks to slow down progress. The companies have knowingly lied about the climate crisis, deceiving the public to protect their profits. They have captured the policy-making process and even control the COP (Conference of the Parties) process. Despite their claims of investing in renewables and carbon capture, their commitments are minimal, and they actively fight against solutions proposed by others.
