Holy strawman. Taxing fossil fuel now equals abandoning industrial civilization?

As of 2007, Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, leading opponent of the Keystone XL pipeline, wants taxes that will prohibit 80% of fossil fuel use. Since then, he has called for outlawing 90-95% if fossil fuel use.

If you don't believe this, there is a very famous article of his that Rolling Stone published in 2012.

There are few voices standing in his way, and if he accomplishes his stated goals, that is an abandonment of industrial civilization.

I thought basically all nations had signed on to completely decarbonize by the end of this century?

That will effectively mean leaving a lot of fossil fuels in the ground.

You'll have to pencil in the details for how this equals "abandoning industrial civilisation". Is this because of that EROI numerology thing?
