You're falling into the same fallacy.

If a way to produce cheap energy is found tomorrow, we could make CO2 capture profitable, therefore we could even create gasoline from air CO2, making gasoline sustainable.

Point is, the really bad thing is to stop innovation. Automobiles would have never invented if current regulation was in place in the late 1800.

It makes sense that there would be an issue disposing of the solid waste at that time. Human excrement was often still not dealt with properly at that time in big cities. Crisis though? Either way, I am much happier dealing with Greenhouse gases ;)

Yeah there could have been some, let’s say, hyperbole on the part of the auto makers LOL

"Supossably?" I think it's pronounced "supposedly"
