Climate

There are some environmentalists who firmly believe that climate change is an existential threat meaning the end of the world we know unless something is done and quickly. This is why they would be okay with shutting down fossil fuel production immediately without first investigating the consequences. This would lead to world wide problems including hunger but the logic is that this would be better than continuing on our present path. This is the same type of thinking that happens with people who firmly believe that life begins at conception and therefor abortion is the murder of an unborn child. It is easy to understand their commitment to the anti abortion side when you consider things from their viewpoint. Even to kill the baby to save the life of the mother would be questionable.
