Well said pstarr. I saw this a few days ago on Netflix, and this was my basic reaction, overall.
It's little wonder how limited the progress societies make, given how shallow or simply biased the overall discussions are about any complex subjects. (How can intelligent policy come from THAT?)
Thanks. It's nice to make contact. I believe you and I have crappy attitudes.

You are correct, you two have a crappy attitude.

After 10 years here I am amazed at the number of people who stick around for more than a week with the constant blast of Doom and hopelessness. If people on here were half as doomy as they play at on the internet they wouldn't be spending time here, they would be off doing things or they would have already checked out of this life. Lots of armchair doom is making this place rather dull. Political doom! Financial doom! Climate Doom! Oil Doom! Food Doom! Water Doom!
It is a one note song that is starting to bore the daylights out of most of us.

Wow. O-tay.
I must confess that IF I WERE A DOOMER, my ears would be burning.
Since I am a moderate who goes after the "all doom all the timers" pretty frequently, um, all I can say is "Sorry for the confusion".
I lean to the right on most financial issues and left on many social issues. So my financial right leaning inclinations agree wholeheartedly with PSTARRs characterization of attacking the oil industry overall as "evil" and money grubbing as a SCREED. Sorry, but science is all about technical details. The public not caring about (or understanding the basics of) science is a problem with our education system, not a problem with my outlook on energy (IMO).
Ignoring science is why the right wing tends to be climate denialists and the left wing greenies tend to foolishly believe we can throw a magic switch and stop using essentially ALL oil "real soon now". I stand by that (and my ears aren't burning).
Now, where I'm confused -- how does that (in any way) make me a "doomer"? Does wanting to stand up to constant political nonsense make one a doomer? If so, I didn't realize that.

Yep, same old problem: the dynamics change so quickly commercial operations can't adjust quick enough. And govt efforts? Hopeless.
