> The sheer mass of money in position to lobby for the "fossil fuel use is fine!"... Please, let me play the role of the devil's advocate for a moment: fossil fuel use is fine! It MUST be fine! Fossil fuel gives people cheap energy that used to come from muscles (human and animal) and, in particular, comfortable ways to move around, where you want, when you want. People switched to fossil fuel as soon as possible because life got immediately enormously more joyful. Global warming is two more Celsius degrees for average atmosphere temperature. Give me two degrees less each day and I'll give you back my car... just to ask it back the following day, and maybe I'll propose you to give a couple more degrees each day in exchange for no more whining about good old days' cars (nowadays labelled as "polluting" cars).
