... "fossil fuels" was marketing by Rockefeller ... Where on Earth did you ever hear such a thing? Update / edit: Apparently this is a fake meme floating around Facebook and elsewhere, dating back at least three years: (Factcheck, 2022): "Facebook posts falsely claim US oil magnate coined term ‘fossil fuels’ to introduce ‘idea of scarcity’, boosting oil prices" <https://factcheck.afp.com/facebook-posts-falsely-claim-us-oil-magnate-coined-term-fossil-fuels-introduce-idea-scarcity https://factcheck.afp.com/facebook-posts-falsely-claim-us-oi...> (Reuters, 2021): "The term ‘fossil fuel’ was not coined by John D. Rockefeller to trick people into thinking oil is a scarce commodity" <https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2QQ1UK/ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2QQ1UK/> Archive / paywall: <https://archive.is/st4q6 https://archive.is/st4q6> And another debunk from Politifact in 2022: <https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/apr/08/facebook-posts/john-d-rockefeller-didnt-coin-term-fossil-fuels-tr/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/apr/08/facebook-p...> I'd strongly encourage folks to improve their media literacy.
