💯 we could dramatically reduce fossil fuel usage in only a few years if we actually cared to.

I know because I've done this on an individual basis without any significant decrease in quality of life, and the options available to a whole society are even greater.

Yes, it will eventually. Killing billions right now.

Good analogy, bad specific example.

As much misery and death as can result from substance abuse, most narcotics can actually be beneficial (or at least not severely harmful) when using appropriate amounts the right way.

Burning fossil fuels, on the other hand, has only ever been a bad and EXTREMELY harmful (but lucrative) way of accomplishing things that could increasingly be achieved without it.
