It's not at all disrespectful. I don't know where Northwind gets his information. I know of no research that suggests this will gradually all go away, leaving us with a world population of ----what? I million? 500 million? Scientists tell us we could have as little as 20 years to get busy.
Your question was a silly one. (Gosh, how will we heat our homes?) Hey - by then we're all dead anyway.
I have never seen any research suggesting anybody would survive. It's already happening to animals and fish and birds and even insects as once populous groups of them now disappear. And the thought that a few million humans might survive (in caveman condition) does not cheer me as much as you might think.
We have a choice. We can either find energy sources that are safe - or we die. The oil industry has no intention of finding such energy sources. It is interested only in it's profits NOW.
Is it a big deal to find adequate and safe energy sources? Yes. We already know that wind power alone could do the job. And that's only one that's been known for many, many years.
We do have a choice. But the oil industry pays off Liberals and Conservatives and Republicans and Democrats to do nothing.
Is the oil industry greedy? Bloody right it is. And if you care to take a look, you will notice that The wealthy are exploding with wealth while most people live in serious economic decline. Those nice people have killed millions to get control over their oil (Iraq, for example, and Iran and Syria and Venezuela on the chopping block.) Take a look at the real world. And, in most countries they take control of, the local people get very little out of it except as dirt cheap labour. (Saudi Arabia is the exception to that rule - though most of that money goes to the royal family.)
Capitalism breeds wars and mass murder. It's been doing it since 1945 - and earlier. Why do you think Britain went to war against Germany in 1939? In fact, it was Britain that opened the door for Hitler when it broke its promise not to cripple Germany after World War 1. In fact, it destroyed the German economy. Enter Hitler to take advantage of that.
(The British and Canadians and Americans didn't give a damn for saving Jews. In fact, they refused to do so, even sending escaped Jews back to the death camps. We are not good people fighting evil. And the very rich have a long history of plundering, murdering and impoverishing whole nations. It's called Empire buiding. The British empire murdered roughly 400,000,000. - all with the blessing, we are told, of God. In india, on at least two occasions they deliberately starved millions to death even though food was available. That was under Churchill who had a contempt of all foreigners. In 1920, he order the RAF in what is now part of Syria, to concentrate on bombing helpless civilians who lived in undefended towns.
From 1690, Americans murdered native peoples making sure to include men, women and children. by 1900 only 20,000 were left. The last 'Indian war' was in 1923, bringing the aboriginal population down to 20,000. That was all to please land speculators - like George Washington. Over the years, they had killed 130,000,000 native peoples. It became a model for Hitler in planning his holocaust. Don't kid yourself. The rich and powerful have a long history of brutality and murder.--by the way, did you know the American CIA led by George Bush - the father of the later George - led in the murders of some 200,000 innocent Guatemalans? They were especially interested in killing priests, missionaries, and nuns. --no. the story has never appeared in our news media. But the National Film Board has a film about it. It is very foolish to assume the super wealthy want to help us and give us jobs. Moving into that circle requires ruthlessness and greed. And that's the oil industry. American capitalists are now bleeding Latin America,, making it unlivable. And the U.S. is now threatening war against Cuba to bring it back to the good
old days when it was bled dry by American gangsters and American capitalists. )
The very rich are very seldom close to God. And it's the very, very rich who own the oil industry.
