Many of us have been exasperated by the antics of Just Stop Oil protesters. Now, I believe that these are well-meaning and committed to their cause and I am sure that they think that they are trying to save the planet in the best way they can think of – gain publicity, get people talking and influence politicians.
But what would happen if we literally just stopped oil tomorrow and did without the natural resources on which the world, its economies and populations depend? The answer: most likely six billion people would die within a year.
I am going to assume the “oil” in Just Stop Oil means fossil fuels – so oil, gas and coal. I am also going to assume that we have today’s technological knowledge and infrastructure, so we are talking about stopping fossil fuels now, not at some unspecified time in the future.
Day 1 – no more mining of coal; the world’s oil wells shut down; the world’s gas fields likewise. The first to feel the change would be gas users.

Well I guess these guys would go to cannibalism.
“Six billion might die”
That’s kind of the whole idea.
mass suicide
its a good thing
dont be selfish
its for the greater good
Exactly.
Remember the Georgia “guide stones” said the goal is 500,000,000 global population. Kill off six billion to get to that paradise.
China is working on weaponized viruses that’ll kill off based on race. Problem war is it destroys infrastructure. Goal is to takeover with the buildings, bridges, etc already in place.
Even though this article attempts to be “anti-anti-oil” this Yahoo article is still pathetic and childish.
This debate only rages in the heads of US/London/Berlin metrosexual, useless politicians and academics.
Russia, China, and the rest of the world think you are ridiculous.
Not even going that far.
The notion that oil is a "fossil" fuel is a pipe dream of John Rockefeller in the early 1900's to make the ubiquitous mineral known as oil seem scarce, unreplenishable, precious, and expensive. It is and was a marketing thing. 100 years ago, you could almost poke your pinky at the ground, and it'd erupt with a gusher. That's what happened to the Beverly Hillbillies!
Oil and gas are abiotic, they are not decayed dinosaurs or even plankton or whatever. "depleted" oil wells refill themselves after time.
“Six billion might die”
Climate activists first.
Pave the planet.
Build walls and shelves.
Electricity will come from walls. Food will come from shelves.
No waterways nor oceans. No rain. No snow.
No grazing for “methane producing animals.”
No tornados. No hurricanes.
Pad the walls.
Liberals will be safe.
Another check mark on the Demonicrats' "To Do" list.
I would start in Iran.
Six billion might die

Yeah, but if we don’t stop oil, Jacksonville will be under water in 6000 years instead of 8000 years. No one will have a chance to escape!!!1!!!~~
Since 95% will be in Democrat urban and metro areas there might actually be a silver lining.
“Well I guess these guys would go to cannibalism.”
Yes the African ‘immigrants’ would eat them just like they ate an Italian woman after they raped, tortured and dismembered her.
What could happen if we just stopped oil?
—
We, being the stupid, clownish West. China, Russia, India, & South America would go right on pumping.
I don’t know why he thinks that, but he is probably correct that in their own minds they believe that their cause is just and they believe that they are doing good.
But only an unthinking fool believes that man is capable of destroying the planet. Even if every nuclear weapon ever built were detonated on the same day man would not destroy the planet.
It could be a Mass Extinction Event but the planet would endure and life would again spread across the world. Should they end oil there would be world wide famine and the industrialized world would come to an end. A Mad Mask type dystopia would result. People would kill each other for scraps.
What we need to know of these people is what is the Good that they are trying to accomplish. Are they trying to save Mankind or are they trying to save the present ecological make up of the world?
If they are trying to save mankind, I agree with the author that they are going about it in a way doomed to failure.
If they are intending to save the ecology of the world they are also doomed to failure because the ecology of the world is always changing and mankind is impacting the ecology less today than it did 30 years ago while supporting 4 billion more people.
These young people have been poorly educated and are to be pitied and ignored; maybe imprisoned for misdeeds. But certainly not listened to.
One of Tom Clancy’s last books(I think it was Rainbow Six) that he actually wrote was about a plot by environmental extremists to kill off 99% of the population. All but a few select people.
Their plot involved releasing a weaponized form of Ebola at the closing ceremonies of the summer Olympics. Having the effect of spreading it throughout the globe.
Clark, Ryan Jr caught them and stopped the deployment just in time.
They gathered up the people involved in the plot and flew them out into the middle of the Amazon jungle. Stripped them naked and left them. They all were dead within a day or two.
To go along with that. The US set a record in 2023. For COAL exports. The largest buyer was India. China was second.
When you positively, absolutely ‘need’ to reduce the world population down to 500 million +/- a few, ya gotta start somewhere. 😵💫
