    It does both - there will be an increase in both fracking and renewable energy if oil prices go up.

    It’s a bit of a weird infographic. I’d imagine a huge negative side effect is that of production and consumption - producing the war machine and bombing things to the ground is, perhaps not surprisingly, not exactly what one would call sustainable.

    Then again, if climate is all one cares about one could argue mankind cannot exterminate itself fast enough.

    I appreciate what they’re trying to do, but in the end the Gaza genocide is mostly bad because murdering civilians is bad. If you don’t take issue with mass murder I don’t think you’ll be convinced by any environmental arguments one might make either.

      Ya, I feel like the infographic is reaching some to try and connect two rather distant, and not just because it doesn’t really provide any info. Surely the important problem is the western backed ethnic cleansing, mass murder of innocent people, and continuing a cycle of violence that only one side has the power to end, not the incidental impact on oil prices?
