Two words.

Global warming.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. My guess is we will probably proceed with the our destruction of the environment in order to fuel our vehicles. We are pretty dumb as a species, and our greed is well known.

Why is it that no one can see the box we are in? Without fossil fuels, the economy collapses and people starve, but the environment eventually recovers. With fossil fuels, including gas and coal, we destroy the environment and the economy tanks and people starve. In one of the situations, at least the environment is saved.

Apparently we want to be able to drive to our own funeral. So be it. Let's start burning stuff as quickly as possible. Let's not linger.
