Climate change caused by burning fossil fuels is what has the potential to cause a mass starvation, not getting rid of oil where possible. It should be also noted that all fossil fuel is just sun's energy stored in another form, although I can understand some of you Americans may think it was magically created by a god. Why not use that sun's energy directly wherever possible?
There will be no need for fossil fuels in energy generation and transporting stuff. Whatever use cases remain are fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and many of those have alternatives too.
The claim you are responding to is contempory, "Right now China is", and concerns "its increasing energy demand" .. a response about total existing use twelve years past is no rebuttal.
Rather than direct link to an untitled graph sans context (the June 2022 paper the twelve year 2013 elicited graph is snapshotted from) perhaps link to a time series graph: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/global-coal-c...
and maybe recommend diving into the ongoing series of IEA global energy generation and consumption reports.
China's coal consumption is for a purpose, it has a projected wind down, and it represents not just the per capita coal consumption of China's people but also the coal consumption of the world that avails itself of China's solar panel and battery technology.
With a small amount of effort you can create a better comment.
Keep the oil infrastructure for petrochemicals which cannot be easily replaced in the near term.
Pesticides and fertiliser may be derived from fossil oils and methane, that doesn't mean a single drop has to be burned in the engine of the combine harvester or the tractor.
Then let's use the finite amount of oil for that, instead of burning it.
