False Equivalence

When the gas is gone those SUVs will simply stop working. When the fish are gone large populations of people will not have sufficient food to eat.

When enough CO2 is in the air large populations of people will not have sufficient food to eat either.

SUVs/Trucks -> Midsize by individuals driving 95% < 30 miles is less meaningful change than many other changes. (especially considering the future of the SUV is hybrid/electric). The math changes if the question becomes, instead of size of car, reducing the car/household for walking, biking, or carpooling.
