Obviously, you don't understand the tactics of Eco-Loons. The manufactured, impending disasters that are ALWAYS the result of Big Oil (shocking), must remain 50-100 years away. That way, if nothing is done and no disaster ensues, the proponents are likely dead or in a nursing home somewhere and aren't forced to answer for their intentional deception.
Conversely, if they get their wet dream of legislation and the fictional disaster never materializes (like it wouldn't have anyways), their mongoloid liberal progeny can claim victory. It's only possible if the populace becomes increasingly shallow, hauntingly naive and possesses the memory of a Mayfly.
