I think people are projecting when they claim it isn't an economic issue. I've seen so many smart minds make such claims and I think it's more just frustration.

When major American celebrities and scientists say things like "It can't be a political issue if we're going to save this planet, time is up on that or we're just stupid". Okay, so let me guess what comes next....

1. Here in America we need to work on individuals moving to cleaner energy use/lowering carbon imprint (no mention of American Oil production)

2. Other countries need to stop producing and selling Oil

You can read these guys like a book, they can't help but support the American economy and call for other countries to hurt their economies. They know it's bull****, but they're just frustrated and want change, but know it's suicide to call to hurt the American economy.
