Will the Oil be burned and how it will affect the climate

[ene1980]

Recently I heard some news that countries consider burning oil because there's no more place to store it.
As you know the oil production volumes are huge, and this means that a lot of oil will be burn.
So the question is, how will it affect the earth's climate? Is this a significant concern for the environmentalists?

No country will consider burning oil because they have no space to store them they can reduce the production considerably rather or pitch to other countries for a much lower market rate and with these options available why would they waste by burning, since you started the topic i was searching and i could not find any sources. ?

If only humanity is using free energy that was built by a brilliant scientist Nikola tesla then they wouldn't have to dig mineral sources till its last drop and now they're wasting tons of it but in the near future im sure it will all be dried up with nothing and that leaves our vehicles and electronics and power plants nothing to use.

Chances are high that the world will be lack with natural resources due go the excessive use of it. The ideas of Nikola Tesla are more making sense at this moment that modernization and technological developments are now being seen to most of the things people of this day are using. There are even debates concerning if his ideas were more acknowledge before, things could not be as worse as what we are experiencing. My idea to this is that, his inventions were too early before for other people to support , familiar with talks regarding which would power the world in the future? Whether it is Tesla's AC or Edison's DC. But personally my view would go for tesla based from what I have read.

I know that if this idea becomes a reality, it will have a very bad impact on the environment. The fumes from burning excess oil will cause the greenhouse effect on the earth. Especially, the air is heavily polluted with toxic substances. Many people will suffer from respiratory syndrome such as pneumonia, shortness of breath, chest pain due to breathing in too much of these toxic fumes.

This would really be a bad thing and I doubt no other countries would oppose to such actions because it is obviously harmful to our environment. Also, it does not make sense that they spent money, time, and manpower in order to search for oil then will just dispose it using an improper way jist because they are lacking storage. Indeed natural resources would regenerate but for sure, the manner of how fast people are extracting it from the nature would slow down the recovery, worse it would destroy it.

Ok smartie way to pick on words. If you didn't find sources - you haven't looked hard enough. The fact is there's too much production and not enough storing space.
If not countries, some private companies or the transporters of oil may dispose of oil the "cheap way" and damage the ecology.

Just as I've predicted, the oil starts getting dumped in the ocean if the oil industry won't decrease production it may get much worse.

Oil is doing fine now, there is really no need to burn it because lets be honest that is millions even billions of dollars gone to waste and they wouldn't want something like that. Look at the price right now, double and even triple of what it used to be and that means there is no need to burn it. Look at Saudi Arabia, they have used all the oil money they made to invest into other stuff so they are still making a profit even when they are not selling oil, which means they can wait without burning and still be profiting at the same time.

Basically there could be few places who would do it and it would hurt the climate like crazy but at the same time it won't be a big portion, it would be under 5% of all the people who extract oil and sell it, but you never know about what oil executives will do to make one more dollar for themselves.

So, your source for this is an article that shows no evidence?

You should really start to think before digesting any rumor as you read it in the first piece of news your hear.
First, this huge oil pill has not been recorded by any other newspaper, no matter how hard you try the only one reporting is that website you mentioned while others talk about spills from 2019, 2018, 2017....
Second, that place is one of the last in which tankers would dump, the only tankers in that region are Russian tankers, with the ports having a capacity of 1mln barrels per day and with one of the last available storage facility to yet full. So, why would rosneft choose to dump its oil when they could simply store it?
Third, why is there only a case and not hundreds?
Use logic before taking any piece of news as solid truth.

Also, how is this a cheap way?
Load oil in a tanker, pay up the crew to ignore this, pay up the company that owns the tanker to ignore it, pay the port employees to ignore that cargo is not there, all to dump oil that can be seen from space? They could have simply dumped it in the oil pits waste lakes that every mining facility has and be done with it.

why produce so much oil when they know that there isnt much demand on it  . why will they burn the excess one when they are already selling it cheap  . people should be buying alot of them now so there should be no problem for spacing . burning them is only a loss for them and also a harm to our environment plus its also illegal and they should be jailed or fined for that  . they can be easily caught out if they do so due to smoke and smell but idk if they can burried it instead on the ground

Are you really sure about this? First, how come they no longer have means of storing their oils? Second, do they were able to waste a precious commodity? I can't believe it, it doesn't make any sense. It would be wiser for them to cut the price largely than burning it for nothing.

So the question is, how will it affect the earth's climate? Is this a significant concern for the environmentalists?

Assuming that it was true, I may say yes. Why? Simply because at the end of the day it was a carbon emission. Even how small or big it is, it will accumulate and manifest its effect in the future and that was sad. Actually, there's a fear in the back of my mind concerning about opening all economies once again. I guess the wounds of our Mother Earth which healed for past few months will suddenly bleed again once we go back to normal .

I agree that there is really not a reason that people should be dumping something that worths money. I get that if you destroy oil for a while you will have less oil and you will make more money by selling it for more money. However you could keep them and sell for cheaper but also make more money because you are selling more of it as well, that is an option as you might imagine.

Moreover at the worst case you could build more storage, oil is not something that is hard to store, you could build a place that can hold all the extra oil in less than 6 months, sure that is too late for now, but at least they could just keep paddling for another 6 months and then never have to deal with anything like this, which means they will have to sell only the excess amount for the 6 months until its built.

Unfortunately, that is a possibility since storing oil is tedious and resource-hungry that the need for disposing extra tons of it by burning is more feasible than, well, storing it on somewhere unsafe and somewhere which isn't fireproof. They can sell it on a much cheaper rate however do keep in mind that there literally is very little demand for oil right now whereas the supply is still staggeringly high.

No one expected the virus to reach pandemic status, and so Middle East decided to ramp up production prior to the events of the last weeks of March wherein it is revealed that the virus is already transmitted on most parts of the globe. Also, the oil that you are talking about is still unprocessed and extremely flammable, so I don't think the option to sell it to the normal citizens is an option honestly.
