reduction in consumption in fossil fuels is at least partly due to energy supply concerns
the global warming threat is an essential reason for not using fossil fuels. There is a lot of coal and a lot of tar-sand available. If we didn’t care about long term problems, we’d just use those.

Coal can be nasty for other reasons apart from greenhouse gases. How much of the coal is low sulphur?
I don’t see tar-sand as a total option, part of the energy mix sure. But we still need to pursue alternatives.
