World Climate Change Slowed by World Economic Collapse

Though to almost all people on earth the present economic downturn is abhorrent the fact does remain that serious world climate change will be seriously slowed by less burning of fossil fuels, even though the burning of wild woods will likely increase along with the extinction of many new species by people just trying to eat anything they can under these awful circumstances worldwide.

However, though driving in the United States slowed by 5% to 6% this last summer because of $4 and $5 per gallon gasoline(unheard of for the U.S) driving right now is within 1% of last years norms because gasoline is now mostly between $1.50 and $2.00 a Gallon for gas, at least on the mainland 48 states. This doesn't include Alaska, Hawaii or other island parts of the U.S.

People who have been accurate in the past expect 2.50 to $3 a gallon by Memorial Day and then price lower than now this time next year. However, if we don't quickly start shifting away from oil products to burn as fuel the world will slowly auger in financially over the next 10 or more years. So, the more slowly the world changes away from oil the more incredible suffering there will be for almost everyone.

we are in a completely new dynamic than every before in recorded history on earth.
Although free market capitalism seems to work the best, some way must be found to protect renewable resources like air, water, wood, farmland, lakes, rivers, oceans.

If we don't don't make this kind of change not only Global Climate Change will kill us but the complete and permanent degradation and end to all renewables like clean air, clean water, growable farmland, clean rivers, clean lakes and viable oceans with fish and a friendly ecosystem to humans. Without a friendly ecosystem the only humans left would be in protected buildings, caves homes etc. with air filtration systems or underground with recycled water etc.
