Death to Oil

The year is 2070. Common daily temps are between 35-45°C. Only 200k humans survive globally, and barely.

They still use fossil fuels to generate electricity...

Born too late to die in war over oil, born too early to die in war over oil, born just in time to die in war over oil.

There are 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves in the world as of 2016.

So another extra 30% or so.

For comparison, Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserve at 303 billion barrels.

Winter is coming.

It's almost poetic. The oil got there because there was once vegetation on Antarctica, that decayed over the eons. Now the thirst for oil will lead to heating the planet enough to melt the ice again.

Ffs, just fuck off, Russia.

Who put the barrels there!!!

It's amazing how we always find ways to speedrun our downfall.

More to the point, what will the consequences be of that much carbon being repatriated into the atmosphere? I hear that Siberia has had some awfully hot, miserable summers recently. It’s likely not going to go over well with the climate problems Russia is having.

Hmmmm.

We are cooked guys

FFS lets move on from trying to suck every last drop of oil out of the earth's crust.

The issue with fossile fuels or more generally oil dependency isn't the limited availability. It's that they're massive deposits of stored carbon and if we start burning them they get released to the atmosphere. With the oil deposits already known if we use them all, we'd have killed the planet long before the last drop of oil is used. We don't need any new deposits.

Oh for fucks sake.

Trump's about to liberate Antarta... Aunt Tart... Antitartica... the place where the polar bears live!

Just for context, the US uses around 7 billion barrels per year. Can keep the SUVs going for the better part of a century.

Hmm sounds like a good reason to have the ice all melt and speed up us dependency on it - USA 2026 probably

So, they were looking

Any chance the capitalists will just leave it in the ground? No? I didn't think so.

This title legit made me wanna not wake up tomorrow 😭

Just in time for it to not matter as oil demand declines and renewable energy takes over.
