Looking at this from a very broad perspective, it seems reasonable to me that there are cyclical events in nature that wipe out existing life and get life started anew. It's not a license to be complacent or irresponsible but not extracting another barrel of oil from this day forward isn't going to stop the cycle or alter it substantially. What's a few human generations in the scale of the earth's age?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for quitting oil cold turkey, but not because of anything Mr. Gore says.
