What If We Burn All the Oil?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
This video was made in collaboration and with the support of Greenpeace. Learn more about how you can fight climate change here: Throughout the years, society has had a love/hate relationship with oil. On one hand, it's used to create a lot of products we use every day. And no, I'm not just talking about filling up our gas tanks. So maybe it's time to give up. These companies are not going to stop polluting on their own. So, if they burned through all the oil, would it really matter, in the end? How much oil can we afford to burn? How fast can we move out of oil into renewable energy? And what are the stakes for our communities and the planet? Transcript and source

Sorry, but it won't work - for instance, when EU introduced new environmental laws which putted responsibility on corporations, they just moved to China and India. This way, EU got rid of 1 tonne of CO2, but China produced 2 tonnes more.
In other words: if you put responsibility to corporations, they won't stop what they're doing, but just move somewhere where they can produce how much they desire. It's better to keep them in our countries, which have still more restrictive environmental limits than China.
So, what will those limits change? Only thing they've done in Europe was economical downturn and destroyed industry (which moved to China. You can say that beautiful ideas, that corporations are destroying the world, but something you should -really- take care of is national debt. Without money you can forget about reducing CO2, methane, or whatever else, otherwise you're gonna starve your own people.
Only thing you should -really- do is make sure Chinese industry won't be able to make profit put of it - so just stop buying Chinese things and buy something from your home country. Whether it is a food, or a furniture, just make sure it's been produced where you live. You will reduce unemployment in your country and money will stay there. And beside, local food has less preservatives and is, in a nutshell, healthier.

Nuclear energy if managed carefully and with strict safety regulations, could be a good way of reducing our dependency on coal, oil and natural gas, whilst mitigating the effects of climate change. Energy from nuclear power plants could also recharge electric cars.
Reason being is that nuclear power plants generate far more energy than any coal power plant could ever do and they don't create CO2 emissions. It'd be a great way of being able to meet our energy requirements without the need for oil & gas, or creating additional CO2 emissions.

This video says corporations are making money burning oil while we pay the price, that's not how it works at all, they are making money extracting oil and selling it to us so we can burn it and reap the rewards of doing so, which we do, but not without consequences. Stop blaming corporations for oil related issues, those issues are the doing of almost all of us. Our current way of life, good life, in western civilization, could only be achieved at the time and is now sustained by burning heaps of oil

Easy to blame companies as if they were some sentient invincible entity when most of us can't and won't accept living without the commodities we enjoy. But people won't do anything, since we all agree companies are the only villian here and we all are poor victims that can't be held responsible for anything.

This is so dumb I want to know what happens if we burn all the oil it is all dirty as humans to get the oil out of the ground and we get it back into the atmosphere before we have the garden of Eden. All the oil was plants and animals at one time. Oil came when God wape out garden Eden.
reply

So to the people who live in the tropical climate, where the temperature is already higher than the temperature in Europe by a dozen celsius? How can they live in such -extreme weather-?
Or is it they can survive normally and you'll just ignore that to push on propaganda?

reply

The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones. It ended because something better was invented.
Ever since people started using oil in the 19th century, people have been saying that we will run out of oil in 20 years. And they have always been wrong.

reply

The problem is that there aren't too many substitutes. Oil is used for too many things we depend on. Energy is only one thing. The only real workable substitute for fossil fuels is nuclear power for energy.
reply

IN this situation WE NEED ALL THE NUCLEAR POWER WE CAN POSSIBLY GET. We would need to build more nuclear power plants and we would also need to build more nuclear powered ships and trains as well.
reply

Climate change is a bigger threat then anything else yet we don't even react, renewable energy is free, plus money is fiat currency so, we can print money, so what is the problem
reply

We should shut off about 50 per cent of oil and gas and other gases kept into the ground and use what we need to this would make the planets climate change slow right down
reply

You make many bold claims and accusations, yet you do not back up any of it. You have no sources or data. If you want to be taken serious back up your words.
reply

What if a volcano erupts big and we see no sun for decades? it happened before, just about 1-2 thousands years ago. Should we depend so much on solar?
reply

See the problem with solar panels is that the minerals that are used to make the actual panels is quite rare and mainly found in China.
reply

We could use Hydro Thermal Energy and Geo-Thermal Energy under the sea and on land. But of course, leftists don't see this source savy.
reply

Oil burns makes carbon dioxide which is what plants use to make oxygen WE ARE HELPING THE PLANET PLUS oil is renewable same as coal
reply

Unpopular opinion:
Nuclear power plants are more efficient and actually cleaner than -renewable sources of energy-.

reply

This is really great but then how can we make plastic and everything that needs oil without oil and can it happen?
reply

Well many of these companies are now focusing a considerable percentage of capital to renewable source of energy
reply

Yet in 2022, the Republican Party still denies climate change is even real. VOTE BLUE TO SAVE THE BLUE!
