The reserves of oil are being wasted, and in a near future we would be
crying better tears thinking of all this oild squandering.

This would be the real crisis, not climate warming, not the melting of
the poles.
The exhaustion of the oil. *This would be the real doomsday for this
civilization.

Oil is useful as a source of energy. But it is a harmful source of
energy, because of the climate change. So we should stop using it now
for that purpose. We have other sources of energy that don't cause
global warming.

Without oil, we can still have electricity from nuclear power plants.
We have much more energy available, if we use all the uranium wisely,
and the thorium too, than from oil.

But if we burn the oil, we will lose our coastal areas, insects and
diseases will spread, we will lose the coral reefs. These things will
take longer to fix. If we have to, we can make plastics from plants
instead of from oil.
