In an sense, using up all fossl fuels ends the global warming problem -- or ends our ability to make it worse, since we'll have already made it as bas as we could. Using up oil pushes us back to coal which is much worse for global warming than oil or gas, and has added problems (acid rain, mercury in fish, at least unless the "clean coal" move movement makes progress). Serious as global warming is, it's just a diversion. IF peak oil starts now, we don't have the luxury of worrying about the ice caps melting in 40 years. Our sociey won't exist by then, and the electrical grid will have been cold for a decade before that. Our airline are likely going to be dead in 10 years. Global warming? HA! we don't have the luxury to deal with such a remote problem if peak oil really is now. I konw better, and so do you. What the bleep is wrong with Al Gore? - Charles
