Where Are We With Our Global Oil Reserves and Supply - Peak Oil?

Well, it should be evident or quite obvious by now that global warming is a complete sham. No, not everyone has caught on, and there are still media holdouts, but most of the scientists realize that that research money flowing into their coffers is coming to an end, and the game is over. This pretending game of anti-fossil fuel propaganda is so seriously flawed, I can't imagine anyone buying into that notion. Fossil fuels are not bad, there's a lot of energy packed in those molecules. We use fossil fuels because they work, and we get more BTU out of them.
So why is everyone down on fossil fuels? When having this debate recently with someone who actually has come to terms with the reality that global warming is a sham - he told me that it didn't matter because; "We are running out of oil," he proclaimed, well, that's not exactly true of course, but we are nearing the end of "the easy to get oil" that's for sure give it 10-years or so. The reality is we are not running out of all oil, we are not running out of natural gas, and we have a ton of coal. So what's the problem?
CO2 is not bad, CO2 is quite common, and carbon is very common. In fact, a large percentage of your body is made of the stuff. If you think you hate carbon, you might as well shoot yourself, if you want to reduce your carbon footprint then you can cut your feet off at the ankles, but don't bother me. It's time that we educate Americans, and not this anti-fossil fuel nonsense. Yes, we all have to drink the water and breathe the air, but there are ways of using these fuels without a large amount of pollution.
Instead of wasting money from the Department of Energy on wind turbines, we should've focused on clean coal energy, and better ways to bring nuclear power to fruition mitigating all of the challenges or potentially inherent dangers. So where are we at when it comes to our global oil reserves and supply? Well, the Iraq you will be coming online, meaning we will have more light sweet crude at a low price.
There is also lots more oil up in the North, the Canadian tar sands, and oil has been found off the coast of Brazil, Argentina, and many other places. Once we get past the controversial issues of fracking, and discover ways to do it without any chance of getting contaminating the groundwater, this whole concept of peak oil from the 1970s will become nothing more than an anti-oil environmentalist's wet dream.
Fossil fuels are not evil, we are not running out of them anytime soon, and if we really want to have a serious energy policy and national dialogue and conversation on this issue we need to dump the global warming nonsense, and come to terms with the reality that most of these alternative energy schemes just can't cut the mustard, and can't compete in the marketplace for price, or reliability. That's the truth, and if you can't handle it, that's not my problem.
Living a lie and pursuing a faulty energy policy is not good for our nation's future, our economy, jobs, or our energy security. Anyone in power that attempts to pursue such anti-fossil fuel policies at this juncture needs to be closely scrutinized to make sure they aren't trying to cause the downfall of the greatest nation ever created in the history of mankind.
If they are, they should be exposed and brought to justice. And if that is justice, happens to be street justice or justice of the mob, so be it, after all, that's what they're asking of the mob when it comes to the fossil fuel industry, see that point, it's always a double-edged sword in politics. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
