No the hysteria is very much very over the top. 24/7 the Earth is doomed unless we put in flourecent lighting. Polar Bears are dying out. Death disease, etc....

It's a fad - a conspiracy, probably - so we should just continue pouring hundreds of tonnes of polution into the atmosphere.
I remember being told as a kid countless times that there won't be any non-renewable resources by the time I was an adult. So, I see where you're coming from - sort of. The important point in this case, is that it is imporant to develop renewable energy, regardless of the fact that we've still got plenty of gas. Likewise, we need to reduce our CO2 emmissions, and lead more eco-friendly lifestyles, put the onus on governments and buisness to use more eco-friendly methods. The fact that this is in the news and being talked about is fantastic.
Canada could be a world leader in developing these new technologies, which would be immensely profitable in the long run. But, we know that already. Supporting those who would deflect the argument and intentionally manufacture "lack of consensus" can have little purpose other than to increase "how much money I have in my pocket right now" at the expense of
everything, quite frankly.
