Fred Bloggs at Bishop Hill asks: Oil, coal and gas are wonderfully concentrated and transportable fuels. If we do not burn them, someone else will until none is left. Do you agree? ------- That man certainly has a point. www.eci.ox.ac.uk/news/events/linacre11/ |

Before coal was invented, they said the same thing about wood. What we need is more invention. Coal displaces wood; Oil displaces coal; gas replaces oil. Nuclear power ( of various flavours) is predicated to replace gas, and so on. We need to keep up this process of invention, or we will decline into an animal existence
Meanwhile, we still have uncountable numbers of trees, coal seams, oil deposits, gas deposits, radioactive ores & co. etc.

This is called "begging the question", abacus, i.e assuming answered that matter which is under enquiry.
Warmists are going round in circles of their own devising.
