It is however the goal of a lot of climate activists following Bill McKibben and that kook from NASA JPL, Hensen, to stop or slow the exploitation of the tarsands because it is the dirtiest and least efficient available form of fossil fuels, with massive contamination at the point of extraction in Canada, greater carbon emissions coming from its transport and processing.
They want to preserve life on Earth as we know it by reducing CO2 and stabilizing it below 350 parts per million. That's why they named their org 350
Here's that Hansen quote that is their rally cry: |
keeping earth under 350ppm co2 is a pipedream as long as civilization depends on oil. I get perplexed why this project gets targeted for opposition in the face of the magnitude of global oil consumption. when this project fails, something less efficient & more expensive & more polluting & off the headlines will substitute. There is no stopping oil unless humans stop creating billions of babies or some wacko genius like elon musk comes up with a gamechanger.
since the left fails to ever address the true problem - overpopulation - theres no reason to wring hands over the future. humans will fall into another dark ages when the oil dries up. just feel lucky we will be long dead.
