Yes. Even if we pump up all remaining oil and turn it into plastic, the CO2 impact will be negligible, because the carbon will remain captured in the (non-degrading) plastics.

From the article: “Some of the most significant tactics found included tying the use of oil and gas to maintaining a high quality of life”
This doesn’t say anything about plastics vs using oil as fuel. When you’re making big accusations about misinformation you should probably be clear and accurate in your journalism
isn't there kind of a huge difference, regarding climate change, with using fossil fuels for plastics, etc, and burning them for energy?
Like - plastics (particularly in the ocean) do present a massive issue, but they're dwarfed by the problem that is C02 and climate change?
