Just watching a Netflix documentary on volcanos ... one in the Dominican Republic spews out more sulfur dioxide in ONE WEEK than all cars in the United States do in A YEAR!   

Same with CO2.  Man made contributions are a tiny fraction of the total .

RFK Jr. Voters Span MAGA to Liberal—Making Them an Election Wildcard

SEDONA, Ariz.—Jody Hendryx, Gaia Lamb and Dale Young are voters here supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent bid for the presidency. Their political pasts couldn’t be more different.

Hendryx, 67 years old, voted for Donald Trump in 2020. Lamb, 81, cast a ballot for Joe Biden. And Young, 69, said he hasn’t been registered to vote for 50 years—but decided to come out of the political shadows to vote for Kennedy this fall.

The trio show why the effect of Kennedy’s presence in the presidential race is so hard to predict, and why he is causing headaches for both the Democratic president and his opponent, the Republican former president.

The problem for both Trump and Biden: It isn’t exactly clear who Kennedy hurts more, largely because of his eclectic mix of supporters. Most polls of swing states and national surveys show Kennedy pulls slightly more support from Trump, but here in Arizona, a recent Wall Street Journal poll found he snapped up voters equally from both candidates.

Trump led Biden 39% to 34% in the Journal’s recent Arizona poll with Kennedy and other third-party candidates included. Some 13% of voters here said they planned to support Kennedy, the poll found. That was his second-highest level of support among seven competitive states the Journal polled....................

So you can badmouth oil all you want.  But we aren't the ones being hypocrites here.  You are.

I was involved and responded to  several spills, and other environmental emergencies.  Invariably equipment breaks, and operators will make mistakes.  Industry can do bettter, but thinking there will never be a spill, is folly. 

BUT..  without fossil fuels, we would still be riding in horse and buggies, not have HVAC, be able to transverse the globe via flight, no plastic contianers, asphalt to drive on,  have ability to mass produce rubber tires, medical devices, and a million other products and innovations  to celebrate our technological advances of the past 120 years.

I kind of view TBR as a welcome respite of sanity, but when I see trolls championing the left wing banner of enviro-whacko-ism here, I am not gong to idly sit on my hands.  99%+ of the folks I worked with at several plants, are just as concerned about environmental protection as anyone else   The ranks are full of fisherman and sportsmen who know and realize how important it is to minimize industy's impact.

And to the numbnut who is "polluting" this thread.  I was proud of the stewardship I provided in my 40 years  making sure that this took place not only legally, but proactively.  'll wager any amount that what I have done has 100X helped the cause more than the silliness you have provided here or wherever else you slither in.
