why fossil fuels will never run out

It is relative. The Eemian interglacial, the one before the current Holocene interglacial, was nearly 4 C warmer than today. It was during the Eemian period that modern humans evolved. The current climate is relatively cool if you take things into perspective. Indeed, even without human intervention, Earth is on a rapid path towards recovery to a warmer state where temperature is higher and sea ice is much less than now.

And how does it coincides with mass extinctions?

Mass extinctions have nothing to do with climate changes. Typically, an asteroid strike is the biggest cause of mass extinctions. When climate changes, life adapts. For instance, during the last glacial period, there were mammoths, woolly rhinos, saber tooth tigers, cave lions, Neanderthal people. As Earth transitioned to the Holocene interglacial, these animals adapted and became today's varieties. Indeed, animals of the last glacial period are well documented in cave paintings drawn by early Europeans.

Solar panels are environmentally disastrous. There are certainly many toxic cancer causing agents used in them. The consequence will come to light very soon. Fossil fuels are all natural. They are not corrosive, not toxic, not dangerous.
there is nothing as cancerous as aromatic by product of using diesel fuel or oily remains of burning coal .

they didn't evolve they become extinct and some other species took their places.

you look at them and see frogs . some one look and see tens of different Species of frogs


Mankind has been around 4 million years. To think mankind will go extinct soon is nothing but childish.

Serves them right. This world is about survival of the fittest.
one of the sign of the fittest is understanding the change in the environment around you and knowing what cause them not just sign them off as natural course of things.

coal will never run out
oil and gas we wil destroy the environment and ourselves by heating the earth to +3-4 degree before it runs out

according to new data there is more gas/oil before we acheive that, infact the current reserves are more than enough to surpass that threshold..forget about new discoveries

will renewable be ver cheaper than the gas/oil? unlikley, that would never be the case with curren ttechnologies unless there is ground breaking discoveries in solar via mass scale printing on cheaper material or any new form of fusion energy..wind has reached its maximum innovation as far as i think

renewable can only be cheaper if govt makes it tax free and heavily tax fossil fuel

the way i see it we are heading towards undeniable destruction unless europe, USA, china and india takes this issue seriously as they are combined 90-95 % polutars with maximum coal usage

No it doesn't. Temperature is determined by the strength of the Sun's output and the atmospheric pressure of the Earth. The higher you go, the less atmospheric pressure, the colder. The lower you go, the more atmospheric pressure, the hotter. The same holds true for Venus, Mars, Jupiter. Venus is hot because of its very high atmospheric pressure, nearly 100 times that of Earth. Mars is cold because of its very low atmospheric pressure, a small fraction of that of Earth. Jupiter is nearly 10,000 C at its surface because of its very high atmospheric pressure. CO2 does not increase Earth's temperature. If you have proof it does, I would be glad to hear it. :enjoy:

As for ocean acidity, coca cola has like 10,000 ppm of CO2 concentration. You drink that, it tastes good. 8-)

All this doom and gloom talk, it's all media hype. Every day the media reports negative news, who got hurt, who got killed. Life is not about pessimism. Life is about optimism. :p:
you are an american

That is not possible. Steel cannot be made without coal. Plastic cannot be made without oil. Look at your computer. It's mostly plastic.
Cannot is not a word in science. Everything is possible in this world. Only true intention is required.
On the contary I want to ask, why most of things in todays world is plastic even though we know it is non-biodegradable, it requires lots of fossile fuels, it adds too much pollution to the air both at the generation and at the end life cycle? Why we are still producing plastic when we know animals choke themselves to death by eating it?

Fossil fuel, the hydro carbons made through conversion of fossils will run out. Because there were only a finite amount of fossils buried under the sediment. But hydro carbons through other means may never run out as the OP says.
A matter of nuances that had to be cleared.:police:
