What I think we are witnessing is the start of involuntary decarbonization. The U.S. will probably do it’s imperialist war and delay it a bit longer by stealing Venezuela’s oil, while hoping for further collapse in Russia, so that oil can be taken too. Eventually, it will not be possible to continue kicking the can down the road, and the real suffering will begin.

Just a question of whether the climate crisis will progress to an involuntary population decrease first (which would further delay the fossil fuel crisis). Reminder that for all of the talk about energy transition, oil consumption continues to grow, not shrink.
