My friend I've been having this discussion with them on this board for 10 years now. 10 years ago they all said in 5 years oil would be dead. 5 year ago they said in 8 years oil will be obsolete. Well here we are time keeps marching on oil usage keeps increasing and will do so until alteast 2039 - 50 then start to decrease in incremental steps. But you can't discuss this with them it's like talking to your 6 year old that no matter what you say, you can be right as rain they'll stand there and say, yah but my friend said, yah but my friend said lol,, it's pointless. They live in a small world it ends at that ferry and for some the world ceases to exist just beyond that ridge just east of Hope BC. Just let them exists in their world,, trust me your head will appreciate it.
Floater, don’t listen to this guy. He not only insults all of the people in BC, but denigrates and ignores all the science. He is the worst kind of deluded, the one who thinks he know more than all the climate scientists throughout the world. He does not care that BC is burning and that record temperatures are occurring everywhere across the world including the one that killed 70 people in Montreal this summer.
His total mis-characterisation of the educated people on this forum as 6 years olds, is also disrespectful and insulting. The very tone of this rhetoric gives you a clue as to who he is and what he represents. Blind adherence to the god of oil because he think his livelihood depends on it. No matter that my grandson will have to live in a vastly changed world he wants to create. No matter about the millions of lives and livelihoods across the world that will be destroyed.
This result is the clear consistent message of the science, not “my friend says this etc”. But as he says, it is pointless dealing with him. Myself, GLG , Agent Aqua and many others have provided mountains of science that show we cannot continue with what we are doing. But he lives in a world that ignores the science and ruthlessly continues to believe in business as usual, whatever the cost and to whomever it may fall upon.
