Define cost.

Fossil fuels carry many added costs in addition to the direct cost of
the fuel, which have been conveniently ignored.

As the world's population and consumption of fossil fuels continue,
the effects are easier to identify.

1) Air pollution costs such as deterioration of "bricks & mortar"
facilities are increasing.

2) Health care costs from COPD related diseases such as asthma are on
the rise.

3) Climate change costs such as floods, droughts, hurricanes,
tornadoes, etc are increasing.

There are more, but you get the idea.

Can definitive costs be attributed to a specific amount of a specific
fuel being concerned?

Hardly; however, there is no question the evidence supports the fact
these events are happening.

It's up to us if we clean up our mess.

The planet will adapt and survive.

Human civilization as we know it may not.
