World demand for products and fuels made from fossil fuels that did not exist before the 1800s is giving dollars to oil producers to increase supply, then claiming the suppliers are causing climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all the products and fuels, human ingenuity has been able to develop over the last 200 years, after the discovery of crude oil, the world has populated from 1 to 8 billion<\/a>. Today, crude oil is the basis of our materialistic society<\/a> and the lifeblood of our civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back at the history of the petroleum industry<\/a>, it illustrates that the black cruddy looking crude oil was virtually useless<\/a> unless it could be manufactured (refineries) into oil derivatives<\/a> that are now the basis of transportation fuels and also the oil derivatives that are the basis of products, such as silicon-based semiconductor chips, plastics, lubricants, and medications, that are essential for supporting modern lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The few wealthy countries of the United States, Germany, England, and Australia, representing about 6 percent of the world\u2019s population (509 million vs. 8 billion), are mandating social changes to achieve net zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, we had a net-zero emissions society before the 1800s when there was no fuel-based transportation of cars, trucks, planes, ships, militaries, or launches into space, and no coal-fired power plants, no natural gas power plants and no crude oil to be manufactured at refineries into usable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the 1800s, there was nothing that needed electricity, such as iPhones, computers, and data centers, which are all made from oil that now require electricity to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wealthier developed countries may not be cognizant that 80 percent of the 8 billion on this planet, which is more than 6 billion on this earth, are earning less than $10 a day, may never be able to enjoy the materialistic living styles of those in wealthier countries, or ever own an automobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those developed countries have come a long way from the zero-emissions society that existed before the 1800s when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
