The problem is we are affecting the natural carbon cycle. CO2 is also a gas that has known harmful affects. It traps heat. Producing less of it is not an idea that has no merit.
Our ultimate solution is hydrogen fuel. When the oil runs out, if in running it out we do not destroy ourselves via war and global warming, it wil be our next fuel. Burning hydrogen does not produce any biproducts, as far as I know. Given that, why are we not putting greater reseach efforts into it?

Hydrogen is not being ignored. Currently, it's the cost of electralysis to get the gas, distribution, and technology to use it. Once these factors are overcome by both technological improvements, and the rising cost of petrofuels, you will then see hydrogen take center stage. We are still looking at at least another decade before this line is crossed. Currently, diesels, and hybrids offer the best short, and mid term solutions.
