Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Like plastics? I can only think of fuel and plastic uses for oil.
It's also a component in some industrial products, primarily lubricants and solvents - the latter of which was kinda funny to me because you commonly use solvents to clean off oil
Oh I guess road asphalt is a contributer too. I wonder if those uses eventually contribute to ghgs though degradation over time.
I didn't know about asphalt, so thanks for that.
Also curious about potential ghg there.
Asphalt does off-gas compounds, though not sure how many of those compounds are GHGs:
