The earth clearly has finite resources, to believe that they are unlimited would indeed be foolish. It just won't run out in our lifetime, or for several generations to come, or our consumption will never exceed availability.

There is a theory natural gas and oil are periodically expelled from the Earth's crust, and are still being formed and will always form to this day. Just how much isnt known yet, but it shows how this theory was never explored, given we haven't exhausted major oil fields.

you do not have the data needed to make such a calculation. Ie, you are guessing..

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (35 children)

Yep. Lots of or's in there. We haven't even mapped the bottom of the ocean, we're hardly going to know every oil reserve on the planet. Nobody has the calculation.

There are clear signs, indications that we know that we are running out of oil.

Not only are we running out of oil, but the oil drilling process produces pollution that are creating irreversible environmental damage.

we know that we are running out of oil.

The 1970s called and asked to leave a message. They want their "muh ten more years until we run out of oil" back.

The 1980s left a message on the micro-cassette answering machine. They want their "muh ten more years until we run out of oil" back.

The 1990s left a message on the digital answering machine. They want their "muh ten more years until we run out of oil" back.

The 2000s left a voice mail. They want their "muh ten more years until we run out of oil" back.

The 2010s posted a grainy Youtube video. They want their "muh ten more years until we run out of oil" back.

Then again, you're too young to remember that in the 1970s we were being told we were all going to freeze to death.

the titanic has hit something, sir.. we are taking on water, sir.. we dont have enough lifeboats, sir. the titanic eventually sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

the rich do not care if they destroy the earth for future generations.

Then why are you buying what they are selling about global warming?

[–]chickenz 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (17 children)

global warming will most likely not have any effect on my life, because my life expectancy is short..

but, the glaciers are melting... the perma-frost in canada is melting.. the bees are losing their internal compasses.. those issues alone could cause catastrophic situations.

people that want to believe that everything is ok, you cant debate them because they will argue until the titanic is sunk.

Fuck the glaciers.

[–]chickenz 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (13 children)

that is so precious.. fuck the glaciers? oh my gawd.. that is like saying "fuck air".. or "fuck water" or "fuck gravity"..

it is no wonder that you spend your days posting satire from /s/nottheonion

[–]brimshae 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Bees dying has to do with overuse of pesticides.

According to the money science in the 70s we were supposed to all freeze to death in by 1990.

According to the money science in the 80s we were supposed to die from global warming in 2000. Oh, the same people telling us this said we had to stop using paper grocery bags because they were going to destroy the environment, so we needed to switch to plastic grocery bags.

According to the money science in the 90s we were supposed to die from global warming in 2005.

You still haven't explained why you're believing rich people who, as you've said, "do not care if they destroy the earth for future generations."

ok, i am using data from NASA.. they say that the oceans have risen 101.4 millimeters(approx four inches) since 1993..

(*) florida just had one of its worst ever hurricanes with catastrophic flooding.

fyi, florida could easily just disappear from the maps, it could become useless land.

*Key Takeaway: Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2,500-plus years.

if you want to debate the numbers that are produced by nasa, i have my popcorn ready and waiting.. the microphone is yours.

using the wayback machine, nasa said in 2014 that our oceans are rising by 3.17 millimeters per year.

When children lose ground in a debate, they will toss tantrums.

These tantrums can manifest as insults or as nervous laughter.
