Do you comprehend the potential consequences of climate disruption? Food shortages, mass migration, more pandemics, etc? All the way to a complete collapse of the ecosystem. This planet could end up like the other planets: uninhabitable, lifeless, etc.
And, what are the underlying principles of your position?

Because you clearly dont.
Banning fossil fuels guarantees everything you just mentioned as a possible side effect of climate change.
There are ecosystems that depend complete on people pumping water.
There's no scientific basis for any kind of "silent running" scenario. The closest we could get is fire every nuclear weapon at each other and met down every nuclear power plant and it still wouldn't cause a "the beach" scenario.
So what's your plan to replace million of tones of petrochemicals with renewables?
NH4 is pretty simple, it's 5 atoms, been produced by man from fossil fuels since the Victorian age, it's the most widely produced chemical by man.
If ammonia could be produced renewably all fossil fuels could be rendered obsolete.
