If you prefer the quest for oil and its associated wars, dark ages may come even faster than the scientists are predicting. This will happen through nuclear confrontation, or economic collapse. Slowly reducing emissions and thinking about alternatives to oil does not seem like a stupid idea to me. When 5% of the population uses 25% of the energy, I suppose this is what they call capitalism: total disregard for the effects on the planet, which most the time affect poorer countries anyways. Keep on going like this, and the rest of the world will keep on detesting you. Not that you care, I know. You did not care either when the rest of the world was against your stupid Iraq war. But now you are in deep trouble with that, arent`t you? Well, guess what: the rest of the world could also be right about global warming. See you in 5 years to talk about it again.
