The Transition That Never Transitioned: Fossil Fuels Still Powered 86% of the World in 2024 – By Dr. Matthew Wielicki
We were told that fossil fuels had to be phased out immediately, or the planet would warm by 5–6°C by 2100. 25 years, multiple trillions of dollars, millions of wind turbines and solar panels, and countless “last chance” climate summits later…
Fossil fuels supplied ~88% of global primary energy in 2000.
In 2024, they supplied 86%.
Let that sink in.

After a quarter century of the most expensive industrial policy in human history, the share of fossil fuels in global energy has declined by a whopping 2 percentage points.
The “energy transition” is a joke. Net Zero is delusional.
And the original justification, catastrophic 5°C warming, has quietly been abandoned even by the IPCC’s own models (now closer to 2–2.5°C, maybe 3°C in the very highest scenarios that nobody actually expects).
The gentle warming we’ve experienced (≈1.3°C since pre-industrial) has coincided with:
- Record crop yields
- Exploding global greening (14% more green leaf area since 1980s, thanks CO₂)
- No detectable increase in normalized disaster losses (EM-DAT data)
- Record low climate-related deaths (down 98% since 1920s)
I wrote about the disaster myth here if you want the receipts:
