> Yes! There's more oil in the ground than we should ever burn.

I don't think that everyone realizes what would happen if we did so. [0]

> Our calculated global warming in this case is 16°C, with warming at the poles about 30°C. Calculated warming over land areas averages ~20°C. Such temperatures would eliminate grain production in almost all agricultural regions in the world (Hatfield et al., 2011). Increased stratospheric water vapor would diminish the stratospheric ozone layer (Anderson et al., 2012).

My question is, what is going to stop this trajectory?
