Even if we ignore the impact on the environment completely, there will be a point in the not too distant future when there will simply be nothing left to pump.

unfortunately the last two decades of discovery have provided ample petroleum and natural gas sources that won't be exploited unless we commit to fully and intentionally cooking the atmosphere.

we're not going to run out of petroleum, which will make it even harder to get people to leave it behind.

We have plenty of rope with which to hang ourselves.
