“Because we’re going to run out relatively soon” and “Because it’s causing global warming” are reasons that work against one another, since if the oil runs out it will stop contributing to global warming.
They don’t quite work against each other—both are true reasons to go renewable. At worst, they combine to form only one argument, one applicable to a broader audience than either alone. And outside the argument, unfortunately the oil reserves seem sized so that we can both get problematic global warming and run out of oil.
