Even grade school children have a good idea that the toys they play with, the cell phone they watch, the I-pad they play games on are made from oil. It talks about cars disappearing from the road, or transport trucks, airplanes grounded and so on.
The thing is oil is a dying industry but it is a slow death that began in the 1960's, the problem is the oil industry decided to bull their way along rather than take an active roll in cleaning up their industry. Every other industry they talk about in this video has actively improved their carbon footprint to some degree.... why? Because of the escalating cost of the refined product, they have cut usage through efficiencies improving profits.
They go on to compare metal in the body to oil in the body, metal is not the same health hazard as oil unless it is lead of course, oil on the other hand affects organs if the quantity is too high. But then look at the health problems of China or India. Since Toronto and other cities have shut down the coal and oil generators the air has become substantially cleaner.
Electric cars, transport trucks and buses are replacing the oil burners while absolutely nobody expects trains, plains, ships and heavy construction equipment to be replaced any time soon.
Our problem is GHG's and the reduction of those gases particularly carbon 12 which if we can capture it then they can sell it to the water filtration industry. Right now scientist are working on carbon capture and on other means to reduce the usage of fossil fuels but industry needs to be prodded or the situation is just going to get worse.
The more the oil industry finances the production of bullshit like this the more we have to get the facts out there.
