The main issue is that if we use up fossil fuel too quickly, the huge input of carbon dioxide dumped into the atmosphere, in a period that is extremely short geologically, will upset the balance of gases in the atmosphere and lead to global warming.
Global warming on the planet Venus, with a 93% cabon dioxide atmosphere, gives surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.

There really are 3 options. If we pay off our debts, then we do not bequeath them to future generations. We can also default on our debts, and again will not bequeath them to future generations.

What if your new bf tells you upfront that he is career-focused. should you have ended because he will not have time for you and possibly feel uncomfortable leaving you aside is he selfish?
This is a very unselfish act on his part as he is preparing for his future and would be selfish on your part if you would even consider asking him to compromise that or commenting he is being selfish. It is very responsible, respectful and commendable of him for telling you this and you should be happy for him, supportive and encouraging - not selfish. I understand this is compromising your relationship and it may make you sad but be there for him and accept anytime you can have together as who knows this could be the two of your future he is working towards. Be there for him if he allows you and in the meanwhile concentrate on yourself and your career for the future.
