Do you think that if Big Oil discovered global warming back during the first oil boom and they didn't try to hide the fact that CO2 emissions are rising and can cause planet temperature to rise, would people and intellectual institutions opposing oil buildout say that environmentalism was just pro-oil psyop. You know, the same way that lot of elite institutions and public intellectuals that oppose AI say talking about UBI, post-labour economics and even whatever Yudkovsky is talking about as AI propaganda?

>Oil can do amazing things, we could give almost everyone a huge cart made of metal that will be fueled solely by refined oil, ships will be using it as fuel to make international trade impossibly cheap and people will use the gas byproduct as main source of heat instead of coal or wood furnaces. But using this much fossil fuel could produce so much greenhouse gas that it will warm up the planet.
>Yeah, sure, but totally a selling point, if everyone uses so much of it and global population tenfolds then anything is possible
>We will be able to create any organic compound out of oil byproducts, our labs have created plastics, materials that can never break down and cost next to nothing, if we use it for packaging all food, making all doodads from it and using it as one use bags we will run a risk of putting microplastics into every corner of the world
>Oh, so if we all use your product more then we use air then we will have a problem? And you are worried about THAT?
