If we burn all the oil climate apocalypse kills us all before that point. So kind of right

I mean we have reached peak oil but we will likely reach total ecocide long before we run out of energy to extract and use on our planet. Kinda like we have three bullets left in the revolver but only need one to off ourselves style metaphor.

If we even come a fraction of the way of ‘running out oil’ then humanity will be extinct. Peak oil was always a canard.
