Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Climate Change as a political issue just dealt a death blow

Next time Climate Change comes up, and the Lefties start wringing their hands, tell them it is all over. The peak demand for fossil fuels has passed, and will never go back to former levels. So says the braintrust at BP.

What this means is that the world forever more will be using less fossil fuels, and that should mitigate man made climate change forever more. It will blow their minds.

Anyone who lived through the 70s, with smoke stacks everywhere, smog in every major city, lead paint, asbestos, and leaded fuel in every vehicle, knows that the environment is already 10 times cleaner today. That's why the only two groups who support this issue are brainwashed young people who aren't old enough to know any better, and older people who do know better but are using it as either a Marxist revolution cover story or a globalist scam to screw America.

BP is obviously run by idiots at worst or manipulators at best.

In the USA, that may be true.
In China - not so much.

As dictatorial as the EPA is, I'll have to say that they have done a lot to clean things up. They've gone way overboard on some stuff but the air's certainly cleaner around cities.

They are saying that soon (within a few years) there will be more electric cars sold than gas and that, in combination with self-driving cars, will make gas powered mass transit obsolete. It is on its way out except for small niches (air travel, heavy equipment, lubricants, etc.). When that happens, oil will fall dramatically. By rights, it should completely take the wind out of the sails of AGW, but I'll wager they'll try to find another way to ration energy.

I worked for BP for a short while after they bought ARCO Oil and Gas. Lord Brown was as odd (LBQTXYZ) as a three dollar bill, and staffed the company with a lot of like minded, so called socially responsible people. Biggest bunch of idiots I ever tried to work with! I took the severance package and worked for them as a contractor for two more years. Never was so happy to get shet off a company in all my life.

BP is certainly the most "left" of the majors.

The Saudi oil minister is quoted saying “the Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones”.

You can't stop religious fanatics with logic or reason.

True. Remember about 10 or 12 years ago they were running those TV ads telling us how green they were? Telling us that BP stood for “Beyond Petroleum”. Then they blew out that oil well in the gulf and caused that huge oil spill. Fortunately they had to cut out that Beyond Petroleum crap.

JMHO, but most of the top managers at BP have lost their minds.

Can't Mitigate something that never existed.

+1!

Yeah yeah yeah. In the '80's they said that by the year 2000 cars would fly just like on the Jetsons. Haven't seen any of that stuff haopening yet.

I worked for ARCO for 10 years or so before the buyout and BP for the following 10... you are right about BP. They kept working on bringing the operating procedures together and went with the "better" procedure every time, as long as it was the BP way. Talk about FUBAR! They were completely out of touch but fixed every situation with meetings... meetings... and more meetings. It was impossible to get anything done.

Lord Browneye made a site visit and absolutely swished from meeting to meeting. Shortly afterward BP took exception to the costs being rung up in his closet...

It's ALL about (1) control and (2) the money....

Yup, those Damn EPA folks made that [bleep] happen.

Overboard in the portable gas can department for sure, still can't find any worth a schit and they are over priced crap.

So, what caused the Medieval Warming? England was producing wine grapes in 900AD. Try that now.
