Hey Chimbu, our threads/posts must have crossed. Having poled 185's and 206's into places like Omkali, Pindiu and Mindik in the '60's with two 44gal drums of "benzene" strapped in the back, maybe we do have something in common...or do we?
The changes that have undoubtedly happened to the Earth in the past are generally accepted to have happened over many hundred's of thousands (if not millions) of years, and the natural environment adapted. Not the temp fluctuations that are being seen now in a very short space of time. Sure there have been "natural" interruptions to the place such as the Santorini and Krakatoa eruptions in recent past that have temporarily upset the balance.
If you have ever passed a group of rubbish bins and consciously made the effort to throw your used "South Pacific Post" into the "Papers only" bin and not the "Bottles only" bin, then you to have just a bit of a green streak in you to.
Well might you be correct to let us know that they "have been finding oil" and I am sure that there is quite a bit more "oil" still to be found. However, one day, and it won't be too far away, the well will run dry. It might be beyond our life times, but it will happen.
