Definitely burning. It is possible to make reusable plastics out of oil, e.g.
Of course, plastics might have their own problems, but they aren’t always CO2 emissions.
It seems unlikely we’ll be able to completely eliminate plastics (current medical practices is the sticking point I see), tho we can certainly make a more “circular economy” around them, to reduce the need for oil extraction.
Is it the casino’s fault the gamblers have such an easy time ruining their life and reaching bankruptcy?
Is it the fault of the celebrity for making such an enticing commercial and being in partnership with the casinos?
Regulation is better than prohibition, it seems like sometimes if you cut off supply, demand means the supplier changes (eg. vapes, gambling)… whereas some things are easily replaced, there’re viable/easier alternatives (eg. coal, types of betting). What is deemed “personal responsibility” in one locale is exploitative in another; capitalist or predatory? It’s not easy
I’m sorry but if you’re drilling and selling massive amounts of oil I don’t care how many electric cars you drive. All that oil’s on you.
That raises a question… What creates the emissions, the selling or the burning?

Yes, regulation is better than prohibition, but it seems highly unregulated nowadays.
The oil is sold because there is demand
