The Black Gold

After reading the article posted below by Clark titled "Climate change" i found the points to be exactly the same as what someone would say if they did not understand the fundamentals of how everything, that is used throughout their day is available to them because of these companies.

People complain that companies are producing too much waste, and these "petroleum" companies are causing massive environmental and ethical problems... Well yes they are, but we are the ones funding them to do this.  If you went to University today or traveled to work, you used a type of fuel to get there, which is, well... supplied by them.  Now you may think that this is as far as it goes, so it’s all there fault… Well no every single item you have used today is most likely been made buy some sort of petroleum product or has had petroleum used to make it or transport it to you…People may abuse these companies with all sorts of media but again all these media types have been made or need to use some form of petroleum to run.. I do not understand why people shout and complain, when in reality you have to have it if you want to keep living the life that you all enjoy so much...

However I do believe that we can change and that we do need to.  I’m no blind and I can see that the world around me is changing and this is due to our misuse of fossil fuels… But people need to understand that this is not an overnight job.  Massive amounts of infrastructure have to be changed. And unfortunately a large amount of funds have to come from somewhere to achieve this. Basically people may complain and make a fuss but I would like to see people throw away all of their items and live a green life style… I don't think many would sign up

You are addicted to the Black Gold whether you like it or not!
