also I'm not here to tell people how to live their lives. I'm not screaming STOP USING OIL, etc as that is completely unrealistic and unproductive.

There is an assumption that if you recognize climate change you agree with these extreme ideas that can't be backed up by simple math.

We *need* more energy than we can produce otherwise right now.

We *need* many of the byproducts of oil or the world around us collapses.

We *need* to take serious action ASAP, but not stupid ideas that involve amassing more debt. A lot of problems are regulatory/legal hurdles preventing good progress on these issues.
