In fact, taking into account the many, many millions of people around the world that envy our way of life, it would seem more humanitarian to wish them the kind of plentiful petroleum products and vehicles ... that we enjoy ... to lift themselves out of [a] backward, poor way of life.
She doesn't "accept" these things, and to her there's no crime, and let's pile some more corpses on the bandwagon. This woman is just the product of our civilization and will be completely shocked when things just keep getting worse.
Either that or she's in the know, has a bug-out place ready, and is trying to pump some more fees from clients for a few more years. It doesn't really matter, she's just spreading conucopian balderdash that will just make us hit the wall harder and faster by reassuring the masses to keep driving. I'm starting to count on that happening at this point. Nobody wants to believe their cushy lifestyle is coming to and end, and consequently they'll do nothing to prepare.
