a 'good news' climate story

Global warming reduced heating-oil demand such that, the price of crude oil fell, which allowed the production of reduced-cost chemical intermediate compounds used in polymer chemistry. The lower-cost intermediates ultimately meant that Asheville, North Carolina-area residents could finally afford to festoon their yards with cheap, plastic, pink flamingos from the local garden center, ahead of the floodwaters that would ultimately inundate, or sweep them away.
