@inquiline great piece, that puts many alarming but solidly proven findings in one place!
not all oil is burned. A lot is simply feedstock for the petrochemical industry to churn out plastics. And the industry has long seen plastics as its saviour
leading to
lobbyists are fighting to protect the ability of plastics producers to keep on producing
and
Petrochemicals—the sector of the oil and gas industry that produces materials and inputs downstream of petroleum—is expected to account for more than a third of the growth in oil demand by 2030, and nearly half of the growth by 2050. Needless to say, the petrochemical firms’ sustainability agenda consists of advocating for recycling, rather than production curbs
emphasis mine, since
Less than 10 percent of all plastics that go into waste streams are recycled
and then they detail several known harms from plastic itself, from human health to choked animals.

I think it's unlikely to succeed, but what a precedent it would be and could really open the doors to big losses for the oil and gas industry - at least in the UK.

" #BigOil is now lobbying to repeal federal laws for pipelines. What Industry wants is no regulation, no regulators. It's absurd because these very laws allow them to force their way onto our lands. We need a return to the #RuleOfLaw in all matters #OilAndGas, because we've gone so far from it."

From May: While #Bitcoin is designed as a decentralized payment system that bypasses banks and credit cards, its consumption of Texans’ true wealth—the state’s natural resources—is centralized in the hands of a few companies, sucking up massive amounts of #water and #energy to keep hardware running 24/7. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-crypto-racket/

"The peak intensity of the heat dome was record breaking for the SE US in late July. It peaked at 3.7 standard deviations, based on statistics from the past climate records we have, which means this heat dome is rare, if not virtually impossible, in our former climate of the 1900s. But human-caused climate change now makes these extreme heat domes much more likely."

"Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for US action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.
The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare."
