The anticipation you know? When we know we are heading towards a problem, we do everything to avoid it, right?
no not at all, it depends on the cost of what to do, again. Otherwise you would never take a car to "do everything to avoid an accident". Or parail for drugs, we check before that they are not too dangerous and that there is indeed a therapeutic zone where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Peak oil is inevitable. Even if we are not talking about the RC, since obviously we will never agree on it, shouldn't the tendency be to start getting used to going slowly without oil? Is it better to wait until the last moment without having any alternatives, when resources run out? Our entire economy, our way of producing, of living depends on oil. It's still interesting to have a plan B, isn't it?
well yes of course you can prepare for the depletion which will become inevitable. It does not imply that we have to end it sooner than expected. It's like old age and death, you can prepare yourself for it to live it as serenely as possible, that doesn't mean you shorten your days either.
In this context, it seems obvious to most people .... and I don't have to explain to them why this is normal, oddly!
We can draw a parallel with the peak of phosphorus which may be reached in 2030. If we do not change the habits of agricultural production, if we do not push further research, for example on agroecology, there will be food shortages.
It does not mean either that it is absolutely necessary to leave phosphorus underground if there is still some left.
The problems you pose are problems linked to depletion, it has nothing to do with CO2 and warming, just how to deal with the finitude of resources (which is a real question, I do not deny it) .
