The Oil Industry has hid their own climate change data from the public, lobbied to keep other industries dependent on fossil fuels.
When the oil industry saw that oil consumption was going down because of increased energy efficiency and moving away to renewable energy, they promoted use of more plastic, which is mostly made from crude oil.
Also, most fertilizer and pesticides are synthesized from crude oil. The so-called green revolution was entirely dependent on synthetic fertilizer and oil-derived pesticides. We’re literally eating our oil.
Studies show that the Green Revolution contributed to widespread eradication of poverty, averted hunger for millions, raised incomes, limited the increase of greenhouse gas emissions, reduced land use for agriculture, and contributed to declines in infant mortality.

Fuck oil companies!
Your link doesn’t exactly support your point.
I thought we were talking about the climate.
Is more humans on the planet, and all the agricultural and industrial activity needed to support them, good for the climate?
Oh, in that case name medicine. Long life expectancy and low child death rates really suck for the climate.
