Global Warming: not a problem
‘cause we’ll run out of oil long before it’s an issue
Oil and gas will run out too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios to materialise, according to a controversial analysis presented this week at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. The authors warn that all the fuel will be burnt before there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to realise predictions of melting ice caps and searing temperatures.
Umm… what about the record-setting melting and temperatures we’re already seeing?
A misleading headline, since the premise ignores the burning of coal. Coal is more plentiful, requires less energy and simpler technology to extract, is easier to transport, and creates more pollution than other fossil fuels. It's a trap from which there is no easy exit.
