Quote:
The key objective in the face of climate change is to reduce the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuel.
The entire debate when it comes to fossil fuels and climate change is focused on demand, the consumption of fossil fuels and the resultant emissions. This is not the only approach. Here I propose an alternative approach that totally ignores emissions but instead focuses on the extraction of fossil fuels from the ground.
The Oil Drum asks, will the current approach leave fossil fuels in the ground that would otherwise be extracted? Ultimately that is the only way to control atmospheric CO2 concentration.

perhaps the oil companies/countries will use this kind of rationale to cover up the fact of peak oil. now OPEC is suddenly concerned about global warming...hmmm. productions cuts will be made in the name of protecting the environment.
