Is this guy right?

What do you think about this ?

Great Performance
excellent Rhetorik
I am speachless.
Anyone should take the chance to whatch all parts of the presentation.
It is a plesure anyway.

Harti,

Oil reserves do not matter.  The problem is heat pollution from nuclear reactors and fossil fuel burning.

As the Greenland ice melts the ocean water will be less saline and soon the so-called Great Conveyor Belt current, of which the Golf Stream is a part, will stop.  Three years after these ocean currents stop, Berlin and the French Rivera, all of Europe, will have Siberian temperatures.  You will need lots of luck to survive from day to day as hundreds of millions of climate-change refuges flee towards food and water and die on the way.

Regards, Earl

Yeah, the fact that there may or may not be massive amounts of oil somewhere in the Earth (and there probably is) is not the real issue at hand. Fossil fuels are still non-renewable, so eventually we will run out, and it is not right for the current generation to use it up and let the future generations suffer. Every time we fill up at the gas pump we are in essence "raping" the Earth of her resources and energy, and we are not giving anything back. If we keep taking and taking, eventually we will kill her, and us with.

As sad as it may seem, we are analogous to cancer to the Earth. We are that one species that has deviated from the norm, and has replicated and replicated, taking the resources from the body (Earth) while letting the healthy cells (other plants and animals who do not "steal" from the Earth as we do) suffer as a consequence.

The only solution in my mind (at least at this current point in time) is that we will eventually have to stop consuming like we do today. It will take a social overhaul on a global scale, and things will be completely overturned, but it will be necessary if we want to keep ourselves on the Earth.

Everything ends in the way it was meant to be, so I suppose we will just have to wait and see what happens. It is quite an interesting period in history.

Cheers!

I agree, that it is better for us and our research, that the oil
prices are high, so more people look for alternatives and
try to get away from oil. Also the
impact of burning all the oil would be even more harmfull,
if oil would be again cheaply available, so now is the best time
to change...
The only problem I see is, that the politicians and oil industry lies
to you and  tries to milk you up as much as they can at the gas station !
