Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I heard the same thing 30 years ago.
There are still unproven reserves waiting to be discovered.
The amount discovered in each of the last three years has been less than a year's worth of consumption. The global consumption rate is still rising. At some point we will necessarily run out. The lack of readily available reserves has already lead to "innovations" like fracking, oil sands, and deep sea extraction. Those techniques weren't profitable when production is easy, but they have delayed the inevitable.
I fully expect to see solar powered wells extracting oil that otherwise has a negative EROI in my lifetime.
Under the Arctic. Underneath the seabeds in the deep oceans. Probably other places that are hard to get to right now.
The question that really needs to be asked is not can we find more oil, we absolutely can and will seek it out. We should ask, can the environment that we live in support more burning of even more oil? We all know that answer, that's why we're cutting our emissions down rapidly. /s
The environment that we live in is more fertile now that we’ve got more CO2 in the atmosphere.
More people die of cold than of heat.
I’d say our environment is A-OK with us burning oil.
I genuinely don't understand what you mean. Fertile how? It's pretty obvious global temperatures are increasing, heat related deaths are more common in areas that previously weren't an issue. Catastropic environmental events seem to happen every couple months.
You have an article you can share because it sounds like a bad take
This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a month, and I heard donald trump talk.
Fertile for what though? It's true there is more greening in some places, but that doesn't equate to a better world for humans and animals used to the previous climate. Plants are better at adapting to this, for now anyway.
The fertility of the soil that I brought up isn't even about CO2.
Fun fact, with climate change you can get both cold and heat deaths. Warming of the Earth doesn't mean just heat.
Need to get outside of that echo chamber of climate denial. Oh right, you all have mostly moved on from denial to "it's fine". I forget the talking points sometimes. Harder to keep up with those than the facts.
These are healing hurricanes!
Fuck off, Ben Garrison
