Frankly I don't think we should do anything about the situation in Saudi Arabia at all. According to wikipedia there weren't any fatalities so I don't see a damn reason why the attacks shouldn't be celebrated. Fuck Saudi Arabia and fuck the fossil fuel industry.
Praise NHGH! For the tribulation of all sentient beings.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well.

Well, as long as wikipedia with its independent journalism experience has confirmed it then it must be true!

None of the newspaper articles I've seen seem to mention any fatalities either (although I must admit I didn;t read them very thoroughly)

It dropped Saudi Arabia's fuel output in half.

Half as much fuel going to China. Half as much going to India and the USA. What's oil used for, again? Oh yeah, everything involving power. Think of the knock-on economic effects. Think how that impinges on employment and unrest.  And that's without the possibility of the idiots known as the Saudi Army starting a shooting war across the Straits of Hormuz and/or in Iraqi territory in addition to the war they're currently waging, and losing, in Yemen.

20% of the world's global oil supply would be halted due to a shooting war. And just imagine what that would do.

Total war is the only tech we know about that actually cools down the climate. For the record, I'm all for going over the 1.5 quota, world wars are so 20th century.

Shandor thinks that suddenly shutting off fossil fuel availability is a good thing.

Because he is a fucking moron.  Same sort of useless shit that worked at Aerobus plants in Wales and voted Brexit.

Isn't that like saying reform over revolution?

Which?

Stating that crashing the entire world's economy on the assumption that you can get agriculture going again is somehow superior to just fixing shit?

Wait yea, I got that backwards. Still, one could argue that longer we fix the shit before letting it blow up, the more revolutionary and less reformist things will get. I won't though. Actuall I just might STFU for a week, or for at least until I'm less drunk.

You are assuming that under the current load, we would recover at all from a blow up.   :lulz:
