Is The Sun Setting on Fossil Fuels?
The sun sets behind an oil platform near Santa Barbara, California.
The photo possibly showcases the controversy over fossil fuels and global warming. It was fortunate that the platform was burning natural gas at the time. They don’t burn the gas all the time. The other 6 platforms in the area were not burning at the time. It was luck that the sun happened to set behind the one that was burning. Thanks for viewing and leaving comments.

If it has not as yet – it will most probably towards the middle of the millennium!
This is an amazing dichotomy of the issue!!
