Well, my point is that it is never "too late". The effects of late
action will be much more severe, yes, but things will collapse, and then
  things will be rebuilt. The survivors will think differently. Hopefully.

Americans have a strong optimism, they think everything in the world
will be ok if their intention is good. And they think that their belief
in their country will make things proceed well for US. It won't.

Thanks Asgeir and Dave for pointing out the obvious, but, unfortunately,
your average American doesn't believe fossil fuels will run out. If not in
our (I intend to live to a point where gasoline and coal will no longer be
available... just to die laughing) generation, then the next; which I think
is short term thinking with regard to Roman and Egyptian civilatiations to
begin with.

500 years from now, if the human race still exists, people will refer to us
as an embarrasment.

Jan, remember we're only one culture of the tens of thousands that
have existed on this planet. Granted, we're a pretty large culture,
but by no means humanity itself, in spite of what mother culture tells
you every day through tales, media, schooling, higher education,
songs, movies, books, whatever. <quinn plug>Read "Ishmael" by Dan
Quinn, a most excellent work on this topic.</quinn plug ;->

Cheers,
