Stop Funding Terrorism" (and save the planet at the same time)

b'More than three months into the unconscionable invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the international community is still wringing its hands, asking themselves, \\u201cHow can we survive without oil and gas from Russia,\\u201d while the purchase of Russian oil funds Putin\\u2019s terrorist military campaign against the Ukraine, destabilizing the entire world\\u2019s markets, and threating several regions of the world with food shortages. Why can\\u2019t we stop the Russian armies from this rampage of rape, torture, murder, and destruction of cities? Because we have failed to take seriously the need to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable wind and solar energy sources. We should have done it for environmental reasons years ago but now we are faced with the fact that the market in fossil fuels provides almost all of the funding of terrorism everywhere in the world. We need to stop funding global bad players and, incidentally, save the planet from environmental collapse at the same time!'
