I have never seen one piece of marketing by any oil or energy company claiming that global warming is BS. I have read and listened to many scientists that simply do not believe that global warming exists, and if it does then it is more than likely due to natural cyclical changes in the planet and not carbon emissions. I have also heard interviews with scientists claiming that they are strong armed into perpetuating this "global warming" phenomenom in order to receive any government funding for other research projects. The earth has already survived one ice age and that was millions of years before any soccer mom decided to drive an SUV. Man didn't cause that one. Maybe dinosaurs were really gassy.

I don't want to turn this into a political debate, but please don't try to say that I am uneducated or influenced by marketing that just doesn't exist. If anything oil companies will make more from this global warming scare. Gas prices need to skyrocket for the whole thing to work, and not everything can be battery operated, and even if it was we would need some kind of carbon fuel to charge the batteries. If anything the millions in marketing is being spent by those that are propogating global warming, and perhaps it is you who is so easily influenced.

Agreed. Esp about being uneducated about such things. I personally believe that there is far too little data in our hundredish years of data to make assumptions about the last 6,000 or 6 trillion billion years (another debate) has any correlation between global warming and natural cycles..... regardless most believe that there is global warming which I personally believe is a good thing because it makes the mindless a little more mindful of the environment. ...and like you said not to make it a political debat but to infer someone is uneducated.... that's just wrong...

Regardless - long live the Z!
