Global warming is caused by burning fuel, not by extracting it. To say Shell and BP caused the icebergs to melt is ridiculous.

- AlwaysRock 4y agoThey suppressed the information that global warming was happening.
- heliodor 4y agoYes they did. But the original statement is still ridiculous.
- jdgoesmarching 4y agoAre you seriously arguing that two of the largest oil and gas companies in the world have no hand in contributing to global warming? Over a 27 year period, they are collectively responsible for producing 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10... Glad to know people will still be pedantically splitting hairs as the world literally burns.

- pessimizer 4y agoGunshot wounds are caused by the impact of the bullet, not the pulling of the trigger. To say I killed that guy is ridiculous. edit: at least someone who sells bullets or guns has the excuse that they can be used for sports or entertainment. If you pull oil out of the ground, it's meant to be burned, made into plastic, or put outside to roast in the sun.
- heliodor 4y agoBad comparison. Here's the comparison you should have made to be in line with my comparison: The people murdered with guns are murdered by people, not by the manufacturers of the guns. Doesn't mean that gun manufacturers are nice people, but at least we wouldn't be making ridiculous statements and we could communicate what we actually mean accurately so that we can have a productive discussion.
