The United Nations graph is an image worth 1,000 words as virtually no further explanation is needed as the world’s population explosion occurred after we discovered ways to process that black tar, i.e., crude oil, through refineries into various oil derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 products, and transportation fuels, to support the publics’ demands for those products, which is the one of the main reason we continue to explore for that black tar.

One of the main causes of the world population growing from 1 to 8 billion was the products made from oil that supported the population growth, the same products that continue to be demanded by today’s humanity, that only come from processed crude oil. A voluntary global reduction in population growth would put less pressure on the extraction of our earth’s resources

Just a few hundred years ago, before oil, the world was less spoiled and dominated by mother nature and the wild animal kingdom. There were fewer humans competing with the animals due to humanity’s limited ability to survive what mother nature provided. Before oil, life was hard and dirty, with many weather and disease-related deaths. 

After oil, the products made from oil allowed us to create various modes of transportation, a medical industry, and electronics and communications systems. Those products from oil reduced infant mortality, extended longevity from 40 to more than 80 , and gave the public the ability to move anywhere in the world via planes, trains, ships, and vehicles, and virtually eliminated deaths from many........
