If you want world war three you will have that, Just say it is going to happen often enough and it will happen. You are probably correct this is what the US and probably Isreal is poised for, since Israel is proving it is the big atrocity stick in OPEC's backyard. But you are wrong if you think it is inevitable.

It is easy to be wrong if you are not an expert in any of the relevant topics. Which one is your expertise in?

We do have electric ships, so you are wrong there, you obviously haven't worked on those.

We also have trucks, ships, and aeroplanes that can run on hydrogen. In fact all can run on hydrogen, with a very small amount of work by a fuel systems Engineers, nothing exotic, they know how to do.

You are right that you have an oil based economy, so do we all, as long as our business model is for profit.

This is systemically related to being driven by profit, because profit is the fundamental energy con that can only be done on the planet, it doesn't work with the sun, and its not just oil but actually any energy extracted from Earth including nuclear, it all pushes the temperature up, all for profit.

And that is where you are wrong again, if you think another degree or two of temperature will not end with something like armageddon. We don't know at what point an explosion will happen, when a forest gets dry enough, not already burnt, releases enough dry flammable dust and vapour into a large critical volume of air mass and the air itself ignites in an explosion, which wouldn't be much different from a nuclear explosion.

We don't know what temperature that will happen at, all we know is it will happen. It is not something we would be initiating like a nuclear war, but all the evidence is there to know that on our current path, this will happen, and not even the richest will get to their bunkers quick enough to avoid the shockwave likely to propagate around the planet.

You almost suffocated in New York, last summer from Canadian fire smoke that had travelled nearly a thousand miles. Was that not enough of an indicator for you?

If the US, and the people of the US, and actuall for the sakes of all of us on the planet, i.e. you too, if you want to have any survival, you are going to have to learn to put down the big stick. It is not a solution to anything, only another kind of armageddon.

You'll never be able to beat nature with the stick, it has the biggest stick of all.

So the only thing we can do is work with it, go photosynthetic, start paying back our energy debt to the planet.

Its not so bad, solar indexed stimulus for all, and hydrogen backed solar power for all, as domestic and community solar hydrogen communities. Everyone still has a chance to "Do better" but the way we'll do best is to work together, incentivised to do so by solar indexed stimulus, the more of the sunlight we put to use as things other than the heat it obviously becomes when we don't use it, the better, the more financial rewards. Hydrogen is a pretty cool thing to create with it, because that powers all transportation, replacing the fossil fuels that we converted to heat in the last 150 odd years.

Oh and it converts to biodgradeable plastics, and even food itself, have a look at "Solein".

Get real :)
