Not to mention that the burning of oil creates lots of CO2 emmisions which go up into the air and create the greenhouse effect.
I do not know if you are implying it, but you seem to be quite happy to burn your fossil fuels and rot this earth away in your own comforts and luxuries. Seis, i hope it hits you hard when it does happen because i cannot wait to say i hate to say i told you so. You are a perfect example of what is wrong with this world, your unwilling to make much effort, you will do things only if you can be bothered and you think that issues such as this are not your problem, so why should you do anything about it. Oil supplies ARE running low in the current oil fields, we have drained a lot from this planet already and it is not doing us any good.
My views on you may be wrong, but i get the impression from your posts. But at the end of the day, it is up to you to take responsibility for your own actions, not me. Plus, do you really think that the arabs just tell us how much is left and we take their word for it? There is obviously checks carried out to see how long the supplies will last, otherwise it would be pretty pointless for scientists to make these estimations would it not?
And at the end of the day, yes we are running out of natural resources, we always have been, sure, they will be replenished in millions of years, but were here now and currently our supplies are not infinite, there is always a waiting period when it comes to natural resources.
