It's basic thermodynamics. More energy in the atmospheric system means more violent and extreme weather events. The energy has to go somewhere and it goes into faster winds and bigger storms. In other news: In 2022, U.S. total petroleum consumption averaged about 20.28 million barrels per day (b/d) [1].
