Lando. You can't restrain yourself from hyperbole at any point. Rowing to work??
Oil and gas is in no small part responsible for our modern standard of living. It's not just a conspiracy to make a few people rich. Asinine.
It's especially disgusting to tell the third world that they can't industrialize and condemn then to poverty without even considering our acknowledging the costs that would be required to significantly reduce temperature increases according to your own reading of the science.
You have a ludicrously alarmist, naive, simplified view of the issue.
