This is obviously a more complex problem than "x did that" or "there is a war", but cause and effect can't be ignored.

Actually quite a few people are trying very, very hard to ignore it now.
Maya Angelou said it very well. "When people show you who they are...believe them."
There are groups of people who are very hostile to the fossil fuel industry. When those people have the power to influence fossil fuel prices they exercise that power and prices go up. Why twist yourself into a logical pretzel to pretend otherwise? If you're a believer in man caused global warming you should support this.

At the very least stop lying and trying to pretend that the green agenda isn't the primary driver of what we're experiencing. On the other hand be open about your disbelief in man caused global warming and your willingness to burn tons of fuel simply because you find it fun.
Fuel prices are high and they're going to get higher. That is a CHOICE that some people are making. It's entirely preventable. Sign a few pieces of paper and by the fall premium will be under $3 a gallon. Keep going the way we are and it will be over $6.
That simple.
