And so on. But so what? Just look around you. Has the price of gas been going up or down? At what rate?

Can we really depend on magical new sources of crude oil that will not cost any more to extract? How realistic is that?

If it were that easy, we would be doing it already [extracting oil cheaply]. Gas prices would be going down, or at least staying the same.

And how much longer can we keep burning that oil? The damage to the ecosystem is not something that is "going to happen." It has been happening for
quite a while, it is happening right now, and it will continue to happen for a long time.

Even if we completely stopped using oil today, the damage would not reverse itself away overnight. The species that have gone extinct are not going to
come back. And it's not just a matter of a few species going away. The ecosystem is insanely complicated, where every-thing affects everything else.
We can't fully understand or predict the end results, but we can see where we are heading.
