He has a point on CO2 not being thaf bad. Sure buring hydrocarbons adds CO2 to the environment but most of the CO2 that would be emmitted by burning fossil fuels is trapped at the bottom of the oceans in the form of methane hydrates which are not economical to harvest for use. So even if we burn all the fossil fules that are economically feasible to harvest we will never add more CO2 to the earths atmosphere by doing so then has historically naturally occured on earth. Or something like that. It may come from a biased source and my accuracy on it may be off as it is just something one of my professors said in favor of hydrocarbons as an energy source in one of my petroleum engineering classes. The problem isnt hydrocarbons. The problem is a society that is addicted to the economic prosperity and comforts that abundant cheap energy provides. There is currently no earth friendly way to produce that. Wind needs neodymium. Solar has to many issues to list.
