Engines got shitty for a good while, then the engines improved. The fuel simply became less potent for good. Which is OK, but isn't analogous to across-the-board energy production.

You are confusing "Deferring to an authority" with "Appeal to authority." NASA is a legitimate authority on the matter while posters here are not. It would be a fallacy to say "NASA says X is true, therefore X is true." But it's not logically unreasonable to believe NASA's explanation as opposed to some none expert in this thread claiming the opposite. NASA has considerable evidence available to support its position.

The future of the climate is still the future, unless NASA has time travel technology, there is no DEFINITIVE knowledge to settle the debate.

At present, the industry claims that prices would skyrocket should we try to eliminate emissions. People in this thread are claiming we couldn't economically do it. My point is that adaptation might not be as difficult as people assume. Just as it was in the leaded to unleaded conversion.

Had fuel potency been as imperative as our other energy needs, we would have much more pain, but we had to luxury to suffer underperformance for a mere decade or so because it's not as big a deal for it to take you 10 more seconds to get to highway speeds is it is to live with freezing or sweltering homes.

And just as with the leaded to unleaded conversion, sometimes the market needs a nudge in order to do the right thing. The market in the 70s knew that lead was harmful. They denied it was harmful. Only when regulations were passed did they change. Not because the market "Slavered" for it.

The Climate is changing is a fact. Man is impacting climate change. Science doesn’t care if you believe it or not, it’s still a fact.
That being said, can’t really preach to others about carbon emissions when you drive my car.

I'm guessing you believe in the world is coming to an end theory of global warming. I believe in the Earth does this theory of reality. I'm guessing you believe that the Earth has never seen CO2 levels that it has today when it, in fact, has. I bet you believe that movement of the Earth axis doesn't affect CO2 offgassing from the oceans. But it does. Whatever. I hope you all save the planet from itself.
