We can do much more with hydrocarbon fossils than burn them in internal combustion engines, e.g. plastics, lubricants, solvents, pharmaceuticals, etc. To burn all the petroleum now implies that we won't need plastics and lubricants 10,000 years from now. We don't need bogus climate models to justify conserving petroleum or to convert over to a hydrogen economy. The point about carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere is really moot.
