That's just stupid. We have words for reasons, and half-wits have no business shilling for policies they don't understand.

>Yep. Which is why I am convinced of peak oil: there's only so much room to have oil, gas and coal in a finite planet and we are extracting it faster than it is being replenished.
Probably. The main question is how much time is on our clock for it. But we keep finding huge deposits that push back the date, so we might have a while. Eventually though nuclear needs to take over.

>I am unconvinced that CO2 is going to kill everyone by turning the planet into a fireball. :akko_shrug:
Isn't going to happen. The planet is self-regulating, and if it wasn't we would've long since gone up in flames before humans ever existed. In the dinosaur eras C02 was 4x-10x what it is today, and it's been slowly going down ever since. Currently plants are on the lower end of what's tolerable, and any increase in Co2 will result in better plant growth worldwide.
