I'd like to debate this but basically all you're saying in your
cross-examination is "no";  so in my redirect I'll just say "yes".

Yes it does sound melodramatic. I recall that 30 years ago environmentalist
were saying that if we didn't make profound changes within 30 years about
the way we used energy it would be too late and the human race will be
doomed, well today we have not done so to their satisfaction so lets just
agree that we're doomed and get on with life.

By the way I don't think conserving energy is enough, the government should
pass a law making us conserve angular momentum too. I'm thinking of
starting a advocacy group.
