Climate change has been talked about for over 100 years. These papers from scientists stated the risk of rising waters in the next few years, that was back in the 1920’s. IMO, this subject is more political than in reality.
Also, it’s not true that we are running out of a minerals. Back in the 70’s, my natural resources college class told us we will run out of oil in 10 years. What we don’t realize, any statement about mineral availability is using current technology. Back in the 70’s, they could only drill X number of feet but new technology allows us to find bigger reserves at lower depths and drill down further. This is true with other natural resources.
The cost of gas, home heating all comes down to the costs of a barrel of oil and natural gas. If oil/natural gas goes up in price, utilities are allowed to pass these new costs along with no issue. Same goes for gas.
