It is about time to stop burning oil. Creating underground electric trains and cities where
plants are above. Use windmills to generate energy
and live in harmony.

Although the additional CO2 entering the atmosphere as a result of the oil well fires is significant, we mustn’t forget that much much more enters every day as a result of our own collective choices: driving on short trips when we could cycle or walk, leaving heating turned up (or a/c on) when we are away from a building, even leaving TVs and videos on standby. If we were all more conscious about energy efficiency, then we might not need so much oil from the Middle East in the first place…

Good unbiased insight into this topic. It always gives me joy to be able to read the simple facts and not have to sift through a bunch of opinions. Enjoyed the author’s style.

dont know about the negligible effects of the burning of oil wells in the region.. but a quick review will show that the incidence of weird types of diseases, especially cancer, has sky rocketed here ..
dont know if its a coincidence.. just a silly thought
