    Sure that’s good but also extremely insubstantial in a mildly frustrating way. At least start from urging for a ban on the oil products themselves rather than having already talked yourself down to what amounts to pissing on a forest fire.

      A ban isn’t going to be suddenly imposed; it’s going to look more like “we stop subsidies for fossil fuels, and end advertising for them, and phase them out over 20 years”

      So he’s asking for the first steps. Which is a good move.

        Except it’s not going to look like that, because oil tycoons own all the legislatures.
