Who exactly is "they" anyway? Scientists? Oil Companies? Media Presenters? Politicians? Your family? Your mates?
Like you, I was a skeptic until I saw this doco on the ABC
www.abc.net.au/science/crude/ . Its in 3 parts and if u have broadband u can watch it. It really is a VERY educational and awesome doco that, although talks about global warming concentrates on the atomic side of it, carbon, and how oil was formed to where we are with it now. It will give you a really good understanding of the issue. Basically global warming is the earths natural cycle just speed up from 50,000 years to 100 years. You will learn tones of stuff and it inst all about Armageddon.
www.abc.net.au/science/crude/ The first minute and a half makes it look like its a dinosaur doco but it isnt, just ffw that bit.
You will seriously learn a lot. For example, did you know oil is carbon that is millions of years of sunlight compressed into something that is so compact that a teaspoon of it could blast two tones of mass several kilometres.
Description
From the food on our tables to the fuel in our cars, crude oil seeps invisibly into almost every part of our modern lives. It is the energy source and raw material that drives transport and the economy. Yet many of us have little idea of the incredible journey it has made to reach our petrol tanks and plastic bags.
Coming in the wake of rising global concerns about the continued supply of oil, and increasingly weird weather patterns, Crude spans 160 million years of the Earth's history to reveal the story of oil; from its birth deep in the dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life.
Filmed on location in 11 countries across five continents, the program's award-winning Australian filmmaker Richard Smith consults the leading international scientific experts to join the dots between geology and economy and provide the big-picture view of oil.
Crude takes a step back from the day to day news to illuminate the Earth's extraordinary carbon cycle and the role of oil in our impending climate crisis. Nearly seven billion people have come to depend on this resource, yet the Oil Age that began less than a century and a half ago, could be over in our lifetimes.
