Help me understand OOT ( Warning boring Global warming issues ) NSFW

[EssencE]

This morning I met a friend for brunch. She is one of those "I know it all and even when Im wrong you better agree with me" type. Somehow we ended up having a discussion on Global warming. She recently watched Al Gore's movie.. and jumped on the bandwagon that MAN is evil we're causing the build up of greenhouse gases and we're all going to die in 10 years !! So I was trying to explain to her that its not as bad as he makes it seem out to be, infact he's wrong about a lot of things.

Second thing we got into an arguement about is OIL. Whether we're running out or the so called "shortage" is actually just BIG OIL's way of controlling supply and demand.


Anyway Im looking for your opinion on these two issues.
