As fashionable as the theory of anthropogenic global warming is right now, I’m really getting tired of it being rolled out every time some excuse is needed that we are nearing End Times. As for the hand-wringing over fossil fuel depletion, emerging technologies such as thermal depolymerization will make it a moot point.
