Global mean surface temperature (GMST) is an average, drawn from data sets around the world, showing annual to longer (century-plus) trends.
365 Days of Climate Awareness 89 – 2019 IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere
Rising global temperatures generally raises the ambient temperature in the atmosphere and the ocean, and shifts the balance of mass toward higher energy states: from solid to liquid, and from liquid to vapor.

365 Days of Climate Awareness 88 – Peak Oil
Too much demand causes oil prices to rise to an unsustainable level, leading to the oil market’s collapse.

365 Days of Climate Awareness 87 – Upstream, Midstream and Downstream Oil Production
The oil industry is divided into three segments: upstream, or exploration and production (E&P); midstream, or transportation and refining; and downstream, marketing to customers.

365 Days of Climate Awareness 86 – Basics of Petroleum
It is very true to say that petroleum is the liquid form of stored solar energy, since the organic remains which compose it derive from ancient food webs powered ultimately by the sun.
