  > humanity will run out of atmospheric CO2 budget before it runs out of hydrocarbons. I agree that is very much all that's needed to be said. I confess to a shuddering dislike of statements of the form "we only have {x} left", a dislike exceeded by my revulsion to statements of the form "we have {X} amount left in the crust or ocean - we can just use that". Call it a side effect of a couple of decades of geophysical exploration work across the globe :/
