Quote:How naive to think that the massive scale at which humans consume natural resources won't have an effect on the climate. It took natural processes billions of years to produce the oil and gas we will deplete in just a couple of centuries.

 

You described a resource issue, not a climate one.  Yes, there is a resource concern.

 

Glad you brought that up, because it illustrates that issues are oversold to produce the attention desired.  BLM, just pick any single left wing issue.  It's why we can't talk about issues.  Too much exaggeration and hyperbole.  "Devil, evil, precipice..." yadda yadda.

 

I was told by my college professor that by 1994 the world would consume its last drop of oil.

 

In a nutshell, that gives a complete picture of how the left oversells its ideas to scare or shame others into compliance.

 

What's great for the US, should we continue to remain a strong free country with economic freedoms, whenever that day *truly* comes we will have the people and technologies to adapt.  Always have, always will.  Economics drives necessary change.  The problems come from poor economic decisions that artificially drive change.  That stifles the economy and gets us no faster to change that actually helps us move forward.
