I think people have to decide what is the worst scenario. Oil getting scarcer and more expensive OR too much CO2 in the atmosphere through increased oil (and coal etc.) consumption and global warming.

There may be hard times ahead but we want to get of fossil energy anyway right? That doesn't mean that there will not be some economic hardship but the nice thing about the free economy is that renewables will take off once oil is too expensive.
