If Global Warming is True... then what? (answer: Just accept it)

I have my doubts as to the effect humanity has on global temperatures, and how much of the variation we we in temperature is just natural.

Ignoring all that, lets just accept that CO2 emissions are raising global temperatures. Lets also accept that this is a bad thing despite the fact that perhaps a warmer planet will cause a greater abundance of plant life.

So we have N number of years of fossil fuels that we will burn through at the current rate, and this will release T tons of CO2 into our atmosphere.

If the global warming people win the argument and we reduce CO2 emissions by something miraculous like 10% annually, it will take
N * 1.1 years to use up fossil fuels and we will still release all T tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

If N is like 30 years, that will stretch out the release of all of that CO2 from 30->33 years. If it takes 100 years (doesn't seem possible) to use up all of our fossil fuels it will extend out the emissions by 10 years.

So in other words, the result will be the same. T tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and the same amount of global warming. It took millions of years for plants to capture and bury all of that CO2, so don't even consider that the stretching of that timeline by a few years will help earth reabsorb it.

So when someone says that global warming is a problem, just ask, well how do you prevent all of the fossil fuels from being burned and turned into emissions? When they talk about solar and wind, say to them, how will you prevent people from eventually burning the oil anyway as a cheap and effective fuel source. This is not a case of reducing usage per year, but actually preventing that oil from _ever_ being burned despite a huge economic incentive to do so.

Without a credible solution, the problem is as inevitable and we should just focus on mitigating the results.
