The two considerations are independently important: even if easily accessible, vast new oilfields were to be found in the near future, relieving the supply concerns in this area, the continuous increase in atmospheric CO2 over the past decades is deemed to be of sufficient concern to warrant worldwide, concerted efforts to reduce production of this gas, mainly by switching energy production on a large scale to new, alternative forms, which minimize or entirely avoid the formation of this by-product.…”
