So carpooling just delays the inevitable???

sorry to be facetious but it appears there isn't a lot of support in this planet-preserving measure. Do you guys just want to get there as quickly as possible? Surely this whole TT thing is not all about how we're gonna survive and get along when there's no oil (getting to the pumps). Isn't it about how to reduce/stop draining possibly vital fluid from crust/plates that could seriously displace the earth's axis and send us into a global human-made catastrophe?
