If they hadn't sold it, there'd be more money and power flowing to other oil-producing countries, many of whom have had a considerably worse impact on the world than originating Barbie Girl.

Oh please. That was Denmark.

While I fully support blaming Denmark, the singer is Norwegian.

Is that why you think they sold petroleum? Out of the goodness of their heart? Not that I disagree with Norway's decision. It's a nuanced topic.

Higher oil prices discourages use. By participating in the market they are indirectly encouraging use. There is no way to wash your hands of selling oil.
