That's about the same number of years as I was taught in my geography lesson circa 1963, much the same was said about copper.

 

Still I take the point  that, plus or minus a few decades, won't alter the fact that with homo sapiens having existed for a few hundred thousand years and worn clothes for  about a100 thousand years  the exploitation of these fossil fuels, and the changes to the ecosytem that have resulted, have taken a blink of the eye in comparison.

 

The bad news is that even after the exploitation of the fossil fuels stops, the changes to the ecosystem won't magically reverse in the same blink of an eye.

OK, an allegory. 

A ship has several holes in it and is in danger of sinking, do you try and plug the holes in turn or jump in the lifeboat?

Oh, sorry, there's no lifeboats.

It comes after a Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

The pushback has started, the madness is ending.

A key moment in the culture wars I believe.
