Your forgetting Global warming.
Thats why I mentioned extinction in my first post.
Humans can't survive UV radiation.
And what I mean by drive less, is ride your bike more, maybe car pool once or twice, if you can. Just try not to drive when you could car pool or ride a bike or walk.
When are you proposing the UV radiation to kick in and humans unable to survive? When, as in a date.
If we tap into oil, the next 5 or 6 years.
Wait, what?
You think that as soon as we tap into new oil stores in about 6 years, we'll all die due to UV radiation? That's just a fallacy.
Global warming exists, sure, but it's a natural thing, not entirely man made. It's going to happen whether we use fossil fuels or not, the evidence for it is there - previous ice ages and whatnot. We're slightly speeding it up with our emissions, but there's nothing we can do about it, really. And nothing significant is going to happen for a good few hundred/thousand years.
Also, recent estimates of previously untouched oil in the Arctic put oil reserves there at 90 billion barrels. We wont run out for a long time.
"The top of the world ... holds an estimated 90 billion barrels of crude, 1,670 trillion cubic feet of gas and 44 million barrels of natural gas liquids, the USGS said in a report."
