in the 2000's: the ice caps will be gone in 10 years. (actually I've seen papers from 80 years ago with the same prediction)
How many of those predictions have come true? How many politicians benefitted from these false predictions? How much did the governments make in additional revenue from increasing our taxes to combat these propagandas?
Now there is a new 1 out there which again, people are saying we are doomed in 10 years unless we bankrupt the government by all of these new green deal tax initiatives. Doesn't it sound a little weird its always a 10 year prediction?
Also, there are 1000's of objects that use oil, not just the few that was stated here. Fiberglass/resins/paint/compressors/airplanes/hydraulic gear/lube for robot moving parts/tires/asphalt and 1000's more. When will we have wind generated 747's? when will cruise ships be operated by windmills/sails?
All of this nonsense and we have energy reserves in this country that will last us over 100 years

You are so right; let's make it illegal to be wrong. I also suggest any device created after the 1500s should be banned.
I apologize. I assumed that even though you did ask a question, you really were not interested in answers or discussions. If you are, then accept my apology and ask a question and I will discuss it.
Sarcasm for those impaired:
