Look at the chart, the numbers are correct, everything grows (in large amounts).
We are about to double the amount of fossil fueled cars in the next 10-15 years.
It will not matter how much solar we install if we keep increasing our fossil burning (as we will).
In fact, we use other sources of energy than oil to extract and refine the oil. We are terribly addicted to oil.
One could say we sold our mother (Earth) for a shot of hubris.
It took us to the Moon and the stars. It gives and it takes lives, one could think we are dealing with the Devil. For each day we do not decrease our fossil fuel use nothing will make a difference, the fact is that the Earth is becoming a worse place for each of those days.
Our culture is not only addicted to oil, there is a bigger picture.
Our culture is dependent on growth, hence the addiction to energy, all kinds of energy.
We will go on this way, no matter what, for as long as we can. |

There is absolutely no evidence of this.
The average person today, whether in the First World or the Third, lives a life that is better than almost every respect than a comparable person a hundred years ago.
At the same time, environmental quality in the First World has improved dramatically.
