Burning it is by far the primary AGW issue. Making plastics is a minor component. I do not overlook that, I simply consider it irrelevant.

It’s not irrelevant to the oil companies, that was my point.


Actually I have been asking for concrete proof of this from the beginning. If my memory serves me, it is the primary reason I jumped into this.

Oh! Sorry. Check out the CEI— the Competitive Enterprise Institute. They spread and endorse many of the anti-AGW smears, and they recieved millions of dollars in funding from Exxon-Mobil. That’s just one example.

There are tons and tons of industry front-groups— Charles isn’t lying when he says that the same people who did big tobacco’s dirty work are now doing it for Exxon-Mobil and other energy companies.

Sorry, I didn’t understand your angle.
