A photo of an offshore oil rig. The captions read "why is admitting climate change is real such a personal issue to so many people? Is your mother an oil rig?" There is a Greenpeace logo at the top right.

I mean, I think it’s precious for its ability to be lit on fire

    We still need things like grease, lubricants, and plastics. We rely heavily on oil products that are not burned and oil is a finite resource, yet we like to light most of it on fire anyway even though we have energy alternatives that are more cost effective in the long run.
