Yes, it's very funny, isn't it. We have gotten to the point where we are basically pooched either way.
As to oil use, that is almost accademic since we will be out of affordable oil in a decade or two.
On the other hand, there is plenty of coal and that burns nice and dirty so we should still have a nice shroud of sulphites to keep us cool with the only downside being that they are bad for us, bad for plants, bad for the world generally.
It'll all work itself out in the end. Once we cannot sustain 6 billion people on the earth there will be a big die off and we'll get back to more sustainable levels, a few hundred million or so. It'll be fun.
But that's the choice we make. You can either live frugally for your whole life, or you can live like a king and let your kids live in the stoneage.
