Paradoxically, global warming benefited Europe this winter, reducing the influence of the Russian gas embargo.
In any case, European countries have lower greenhouse gas emissions per citizen than, say, the US or Australia (since we actually have emissions taxes).

When your enjoyment requires the equivalent of thousands working for you, and it is from a resource that is finite and non-renewable, then it is probably wasteful.

Every resource is finite and non-renewable considering even the sun will go out at some point. Let's not bemoan the use of fossil-sourced energy until the point we level up in technology and can master less polluting sources. After all, fossil fuels have fostered more human life than climate change will ever destroy.
That remains to be seen.
And Big Oil worked very hard for decades at smothering any effort to develop less polluting alternative energy sources. They’re still doing it by suing the EU for mandating laws to reduce fossil fuel usage.
This will force people into reducing its use. Companies producing more efficient or alternatively-powered technology will gain the most. So, the market would address this.
On top of this, OPEC playing games is also prompting importers to find alternatives.
But I am indeed worried about the impact on the environment.
Not only that, current "proven reserves" are based on what's economical to extract. As the price of oil rises, we will find more oil.
At the point it causes eventual human extinction.
