There's far more money to be made by engineering ways to mitigate the negative environmental effects of climate change than there ever will be from engineering ways to make ourselves more environmentally sustainable.
There's absolutely no fucking way we're going to leave any oil in the ground whatsoever. Assuming we manage to run the planet completely dry without wiping ourselves out via a resource war in the process, by that point the atmosphere will likely be so toxic that we'll all be living in artificial biospheres, Total Recall style.
Most of us will be dead by then anyway, so it's not really worth worrying about.

I read that more as a critique of the way that corporations have no interest other than profit, and will continue inexorably to do whatever makes the most money, even if the climate, environment, or people are the cost.
Just look at what Shell do in Africa as a very graphic and current example. Nobody is doing much to stop that. Much that works, anyway.

You were just being frightened and reactionary. Which is understandable, it's a very frightening state of affairs!

We've been oscillating between cuntish and goodish all my life.
This cuntiness too will pass.
