One hundred million carbon pollution thingies!
Save it for the second industrial revolution that will need to happen after nearly everything gets wiped out.
In general the oil and coal being extracted today can't be reached without the huge inputs of already-established energy infrastructure and industrial machinery - all the stuff that could be reached with hand tools and a mule were cleaned out long ago. If the present industrial society goes down, the remaining fossil fuel reserves are out of human reach effectively forever. Any surviving human remnants will have biomass and sunlight to work with, and will mostly have their attention occupied by the task of wringing enough food to survive from a severely damaged ecosystem.
We would need global socialism very soon to pull off a planned, controlled simplification and localization of supply chains and dependencies and draw down to a less delicate economy that provides simple but dignified standards of living.
Yum I can imagine the amount of different plastics we can make from that
uhhh plastic manufacturing is the most effective carbon sequestration program in the world, tankie
I really hope some fungus or bacteria finds a way to break down plastics.
That fungus is gonna eat our lungs and organs too, because by then we'll be even more plastic than we are right now
Roughly 2 months worth of US crude oil consumption for anyone curious
Half of which goes to grilling burgers, the other half goes to trucks
And occasionally burger trucks like from Good Burger and the SpongeBob movie.

This is still 10x what Norway found...right? From the first link:
The well confirms a volume potential of 50-70 million recoverable barrels of oil. The discovery more than doubles the remaining oil reserves to be produced through the Norne field.
That's for the Norway one. The South China Sea one comes to 740 million barrels of oil (if you convert 1 hundred million metric tons to oil barrels)
I don't actually know what I'm doing but that's a 10x larger number
Next headline:" USA increases renewables! We won't be dependent on Chinese oil"
That or south China sea needs some freedom.
... the country's STATE-OWNED oil giant
Lol what is the purpose of this?
