      We won’t always need it. It’ll run out eventually so it has to be replaced at some point. Even if you ignore the climate change part.

        If it was restricted to use in necessary cases such as sterile packaging of medical tools, it would last so long as to be effectively forever. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of years.

          Yes medical equipment is the primary use that comes to mind for me.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if half of everything you own includes some form of plastic. Phones, cars, appliances, even clothing is made from petroleum.There’s a LOT of things that could be replaced with non-petroleum products (like textiles) but there’s also some fields like medical equipment that we should be saving our reserves for.

        Aspirin is made from oil, benzine is derived from petroleum.

        As is paracetamol and ibuprofen

    The world needs to collectively come to the conclusion that politicians are not going to do a single meaningful thing to help curb the climate crisis. It’s not in their interests to ditch fossil fuels or make any strides that reduce power or income.

    EVERY LEADER IN THE WORLD needs grilling. They need the balls to say “NO” to money in politics and be held accountable if they don’t.

    What was it again. USA, Canada, Norway and the UK making up over half the worlds new emissions in gas and oil drilling. I mean none of them really need the money or even the energy.
