When I was in high school, I think I heard we had about 30 years of oil

We have 30 years of oil left every year.

Hmmm... what do you mean by that?

Your logic is broken. No-one said anything about heating.

You say that education can compensate for excessive heat. Logically,
then, education can also compensate for excessive cold. Thus, there's
no more need for heating systems than there is for air conditioning
systems.

People have been saying that there's only 30 years of oil left for a
very long time, and yet the exhaustion of oil reserves seems to remain
perpetually 30 years in the future.

As cold does not mean hot, your logic is broken.

Believe it or not, they are two very different things.

there were a number of new fields discovered in my lifetime,
there is also the issue of using shale oil at much higher prices.
Are the worlds resources finite?
Is the worlds ability to absorb pollution finite?

They are both extremes of temperature, and their physiological effects
cannot be eliminated by mere education.

I think the real limiting factor on the use of fossil fuels is the
pollution produced by burning them, not the actual amount available in
the ground.

So if the pollution was captured and stored, there'd be no problem
with them?
