I've heard the argument made that it's better to stop burning fossil fuel, even if you're a climate change denier for reasons like this.
Even if you think climate change is a hoax, why not reduce pollution anyway?

However, some things that are regarded as renewable (e.g. wood burning, such as the notorious Drax power station in the UK) are more polluting than fossil fuels. Personally I doubt they are even effective at CO₂ reduction. What we need is clean energy.
Do you think the world might have made these regions unstable because they have the oil?
