Svitlana Krakovska, a top climate scientist at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute, believes that fossil fuels are the greatest threat to humanity and a key factor in Russia's invasion of her country.
The roots of both the war and climate change are found in fossil fuels, according to a new interview.
Krakovska argued that we need to pay attention to this connection.
She said that this is a fossil fuel war and that it will destroy our civilization.
Krakovska and her team were struggling to finalize their contribution to the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which issued a damning report on the apocalyptic effects fossil fuels have had on our planet last month.
Krakovska was offered shelter in other countries, but she decided to stay with her family.

She told The Guardian that burning oil, gas and coal is causing warming and impacts we need to adapt to.

Climate scientists and environmentalists have been issuing increasingly-stark warnings about how fossil fuels will lead to humanity's demise for decades.
It's striking that a top climate scientist would draw parallels between fossil fuels, military action by oil-rich countries, and climate change.
