Get rid of oil. This is getting ridiculous.
Oil is much too valuable to burn it. All kinds of plastics and medicine (from aspirine to paracetamol to high-end drugs) can be made of it.

Burning is oxidation. Combustion of fossil resources is oxidation.
Oxidation means you take oxigen from the atmosphere and bind it to solid stuff.
Burning the fossil carbohydrates reduces the level of oxygen in the atmosphere that has accumulated over millions of years, due to plants withdrawn from decay/oxidation, becoming fossil "fuel" under anaerob conditions.
If you burn it, it replaces oxygen with CO, the #2 greenhouse gas. #1 is methane! Like in the russian tundra or the gulf of Mexico, that will soon melt with rising temperatures. With catastrophic consequences.

Oil is made to 99 percent of ocean algae, again: that were witdrawn from oxidation.
The combustion of "fossil fuels" like oil (marine origin from algae) or coal (terrestrial origin from forests) replacs oxygen with CO2 in the atmosphere.

The earth's battery is being depleted, people are poisoning the earth's atmosphere, and humanity does not really need oil anymore, for energy.
This is basic stuff BEFORE high school.

Petty f'n wars for patches of land while destroying a planet's biological systems, by "leaders" who have neither education nor understanding. Get RID of them.

How dumb can humans be!
