Brutal Assessment (read up ye climate mongers!)

I don't think Phil meant his statement to be taken literally. I certainly didn't.

Is anything supposed to be taken literally on an internet discussion board? Well, that's the rub. Maybe some should be, but honestly, it's all conjecture and (hopefully) ideas to discuss and ponder. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people." In the idea of insurance taken, rather than gambling "there isn't going to be any problem at all", this is the Precautionary Principal essentially. Well, I don't see the reason to subscribe to that principal until, 1) reliable data is amassed, 2) a smoking gun is identified, and 3) world politics can agree on a solution to an identified cause.

Someone had to take the lead. This country used to be a leader. Now we're foot draggers on this frontier.

The wash is this,
I feel that they are only relinquishing to the fact of depletion of adequate production.
Ie no more war for oil.

We would need far less oil if we weren't at war. Those war machines are certainly not fuel effiecient. BP supplies our military with gasoline, which would seem to explain a few things.
