Although that canadian tar sand thing, and that fracking isn't exactly helping...

Those methods not only pollute the ground water with chemicals we're not allowed to know about, something that will devastate a lot of things further down the line, but they are also producing 20% more greenhouse gasses than conventional fossil fuels...

The reason that they never employed these methods before is because prices of a barrel of oil are, on average, high, and rising further as time progresses...

The Keystone XP pipeline, when realised, means game over for the environment... And that isn't something I just made up, that is a direct quote from the two foremost climate scientists...

The good news in this is that, due to ever lowering cost of "alternative" energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal) and rising costs of fossil fuels, the point where the green energies become cheaper than the dirty ones is rapidly approaching... When this happens, noone is going to invest in oil, coal, gas, etc anymore...

If you want to help bring this point closer much faster, do all you can do to stop new pipelines, new drilling projects, and new areas being given the green light to "develop", by voting and signing petitions, and all that... This will drive costs of fossil fuels up even faster...

A good site to visit that has an aim to bundle all the green movement's momentum is www.350.org and is backed by the worlds leading climate scientists, including Bill McKibben, Peter Byck (maker of the movie Carbon Nation) and James Hansen...
350 is based on the parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere that the best calculations show is manageable for the earth to handle without any major impact on the climate...
Just to give you an indication; pre-industial revolution, the concentration hovered around 280ppm, and the current trends suggest we are already past the 400ppm mark...
And we are still without any significant reduction in global emissions in the foreseeable future...

As long as oil companies exist, people are going to invest in oil. Despite a revolution in greener technology in some first world countries, it's hard to foresee a worldwide change. As well as that methods for obtaining and using oil are becoming more efficient and the demand is still growing up until green energies are on a remote scale compared to the size of the oil industry, and that an oil company can lower prices extensively if the competition DOES become so dire. I can't see oil companies going anywhere withing the next 50 years. Especially since it's becoming more and more cost efficient to drill essentially anywhere. I'm not against fracking either, I just believe it should be done in a more controlled manner.

Spoken from someone who is probably going to work for an oil company within the next 5 years.

Also if this is a troll hats off to you m8, cuz I'm MAD

OK time to make a start on removing permissions.

Go for it, please do. I like how a group based on an ONLINE KIDS GAME has to be so serious all the time. I mean if you don't like the topics, it's a simple matter of not clicking. "I personally don't find this funny therefore it should be banned." The people who think they're the most mature around here seem to be the least mature ones. Remove me first. I volunteer. Be a tyrant.
