Lol you can't seriously think that oil produces more energy om earth than the sun gives us. We produce less than a 100th of a percent of energy on earth than the sun gives us.

There are plenty of alternatives for oil,and if we really want to use oil there is still a shit ton of oil underneath the North Sea.
Climate change ruins harvests by quite a good amount. We are slowly seeing concequences of climate change aside from quite a few species which went or are extinct because of it. But even a shortage of food isn't neccesary if people would grow crops in greenhouses like the Dutch do. It costs 90% less water per crop and the yields per square meter and stability are much higher.

Our biggest enemy however is still pollution of the water supply. Clean fresh water is in short supply and with more evaporation in hotter zones desserts will stretch out and area's will be impossible to live in. Also the Netherlands and some other places already lay below sea level. Imagine the world economic crisis if Europe is main import and export country is flooded for half of its landmass like two or 3 meters below sea level.

Also the emission of carbondioxide accidifies oceans, since it stores roughly 30% of the carbondioxide we happily emit. Warmer oceans also bleach corals which are already less resiliant due to accidification and fishing and pollution. We will live to sea the day that the great barrièr reef is almost completely bleached at this rate. Which is essential for a huge part of South East Asia is fishing industry.

So no enhanced climate change is not nor will be inconsequential to everyone. Sure some nations will not really experience it,but the question is whether we want to stop it, by sacrificing luxirues to live more sustainable.

Since actions speak louder than words and almost no country has remotely the intention to live by the Paris agreements I would say we that humankind doesn't think its worth it.
