The problem of global warming is one of too much resources, not dwindling resources. There's too much accessible fossil fuel.

No. One can be sober while having unlimited alcohol at hand. Being responsible requires to consume with moderation. The problem is not resources but what we do with them.

What about water for the 4 billion people living in places with low water security?
That's an effect, not a cause.
I dont understand, why did you think the original post said there's a relationship between global warming and resource shortages?
I read the original message as saying global warming and resource shortages were independent causes of problems.

In general, we don't have global shortage of resources.
