Er is vaak discussie over of de kaart Fossiele Brandstoffen voor of na de kaart Menselijke activiteiten hoort. Zoals bij de kip en het ei is hier geen definitief antwoord, dus spendeer hier geen onnodige tijd aan. De grafiek laat de emissies van fossiele brandstoffen zien. In een +2°C scenario moeten deze emissies tot nul gereduceerd zijn in 2070.

It's written on card 7!
2Other possible causes
Conflicts are often linked to fossil fuels, but the link is more the other way round.
Agriculture does not use much fossil fuel, just enough to keep tractors running. Its carbon emissions are high, bu mainly because of methane and nitrous oxide.
6Other possible consequences
What comes first? Do human activities cause the use of fossil fuels or do fossil fuels ensable human activities? Don't waste time on this and group the two cards together if necessary. Plenty of activities, happily, do not require burning fossil fuels, like windmills and watermills grinding grains for flour.

Oils slicks in the ocean are an example of a link between fossil fuels and marine biodiversity.

Although conflicts may occur because of resources, they are not directly caused by climate change, rather by resource depletion or scarcity. The relationship can be made, but it is due more to politics than to the climate crisis.
