>If you think climate change is real, but don’t care, because of the economy—then yes, you’re a climate change denier. That is literally a contradiction. Words, what do they mean? The truth is, our society is inextricably bound to high energy activities that can only be met with fossil fuels at this time. Being hysterical about some speculative theories about what *might* happen decades from now is not helping. People need to work on steady and responsible development of solutions that make sense and don't involve destroying civilization as we know it. We need fossil fuels for the foreseeable future, and only fossil fuels can work for common military operations (notwithstanding some huge technological improvement that we can't even theorize about yet).
