And that's not all of it. Modern life and humans have come to depend very heavily on fossil-fuels-derived products such as high performance polymers in high-tech devices, plastics and very important surgical and medicinal tools and materials. Look around, they're everywhere. A lot of chemicals that are widely used are derived from them; and guess where most medicines and pharmaceuticals come from..King Chaos said:Q: When are humans gonna cut down on the burning of fossil fuels? think about it... we've got less than 60 years until we hit global cataclysm yet we still drive shittin cars and leave our TV's turned on for hours on end. Itll damage Americas economy to some how dampen the use of cars, yet there will be no economy to defend in 50 years time. We should use horse back for transport >( I guess my question is, what is your stand point on this?
