What will it Take
As oil prices have risen at a very steady rate many complain but still buy the gas that brings them everywhere. Price is one thing to ignore but what about the fact that the world is steadily getting warmer. Global warming is a large problem that largely has to do with the world's current consumption rates of certain fuels. As this article explains a very real threat from global warming is occuring in southern Asia. But these sort of problems have been known for a while and little has been done. Perhaps higher and higher prices for fossil fuels will turn out to be a good thing in the future if they are able to curb the consumption that is slowly killing the planet.
