Certainly - here you go - five reasons for getting rid of fossil fuels that have nothing to do with global warming:
The speeding up of the rifting of the 40,000 miles of underwater rifts will speed it up though. The Pacific blob it warming up the west coast of North America at the expense of the east coast cooling down so the temp stays the same on the global average but the locations change somewhat. That pretty much means the 'warming or cooling are local events. If you want to explore that aspect I'm game.
1. the largest exporters of oil tend to be politically unstable and often use oil as a form of blackmail. Continued dependence on such
nations is economically and politically foolish.
The instability is from outside influences and that is by the ones who purchase the oil who want to buy at the lowest possible price and sell it to their citizens at the highest possible price. The Shaw of Iran (1953-1979) is how the 'consumer Nations' like to see the oil producing Nations run as that maximizes their profits. Venezuela was run the same way until Hugo came along and after that it was a covert war to make sure they didn't progress at an accelerated rate rather than they chose not to.
2. Fossil fuels pollute at every stage of their production and use; from when they are extracted, to the their processing, and finally their
consumption.
So what, the damage is minimal unless you are an oil company who skirts all the environmental regs so the shareholders get the maximum profit. Look up Texaco in the Amazon if you want a look at how that was accomplished.
3. Fossil fuels are probably finite. No one has actually seen nature creating any more oil, natural gas, or coal. Since they are going to
run out eventually why wait to find a replacement?
Considering how far down they are found it comes up from below rather than being covered by many miles of sediment and then decaying. Kill a plant and the gasses are released shortly after it is dead, it doesn't wait for a million years to start that process. The voids it collects in are created as the crust is pushed upwards and the mass has to fit a new and larger area, rather than solid rock losing density it cracks and voids are created.
4. Fossil fuels poison the air. For example every ton of coal burned releases a few grams of mercury into the air. That does not sound
like much but since millions of tones of coal are burned each year it adds up. Similarly other fossil fuels like gasoline release toxic
substances into the air.
That the same mercury that they put into all vaccines?? If so, perhaps eliminating it from there would be the best place to start. The other toxins do some damage, since plants consume the CO2 that makes it a useful gas rather than a bad one. We exhale CO2 and it is unlikely a life-form would hurry it's own extinction along by doing that, what it does do it help plants grow and we then eat said plants
5. Fewer health problems. Less use of fossil fuels equals cleaner air and water and thus fewer health problems and lower health
care costs.
Try eliminating the excess cost of the meds and that alone will solve that crisis.
There are probably a few more, but these are all I can think of at the moment.
So far I'm not convinced your arguments are all that valid.
Oh, and I wouldn't worry too much about an ice age. It will take at least a century or so for the current levels of greenhouse gases to return to normal and by that time I am guessing that humanity will have figured out a way to hold off an ice age.
Any war with nature means you adapt to the changes rather than fighting them, the Vikings in Greenland would be a good example, had they moved south to North America they would have survived. Weather changes would make all the current desert regions green and that means two crops per year rather than one so food production actually increases.
