I mean... technically the oil could also be used for plastic in which case it wouldn't be burned.
Ignore that plastic may or may not be worse for the environment please.
Why did you change the subject plastics when the discussion is about climate issues? why should we ignore it? How about the ocean life destroying trash gyres? Sea- and bird-life choking plastics? Microplastics with as-yet not fully understood fallout? Chemicals from plastics and their manufacture leaking into water supplies?
Plastics are a generally a petroleum product, so regardless of whether the product from those drilling rigs makes plastic bottle tops or bunker fuel, it’s killing or hurting something for our convenience.
because then my whole argument actually makes it worse.
Summed it up perfectly.
Still not putting a /j on my comment though.
