Mate, it's not a comparison it's an analogy.

It is not clear to me you care to admit the benefits of fossil fuel energy based on your vague replies.

This is a pattern I've noticed in folk who talk about "climate crisis", "the rate of change is too high" etc.

I have shared earlier a framework earlier that is quite simple:

-climate is naturally dangerous

-humans utilize fossil fuels to make this dangerous climate livable

-by restricting the means of abundance, cheap, reliable, and safe fossil fuel energy (what you and others are advocating for) you will endanger humans.

The failure to admit the civilization benefits of fossil fuels goes hand in hand with the failure to admit that humans have successfully adapted to a dangerous climate to make their environment safer, and will continue to do so.

I never said climate crisis, and didn't make a comment about lifestyles other than that I probably live like you do. I'm not naive.

I'm also not ignoring the fact that the ocean is accumulating energy at a phenomenal rate. For fun I punched it into grok. 300 zettajoules over 50 years would take about 18.26 trillion kettles and the rate of energy increase is accelerating.

What I'm really saying is, you can talk about the benefits and the reasons why its important to have energy ad nauseam, you probably won't be wrong and I'm not here to judge, but keep an eye on those two chats because they do not care about your rationale.
