The so-called "oil for food" program was put in place precisely to keep Iraq from being able to sell oil freely on world markets.

For that matter, Russia also is selling oil, albeit not so freely. Russia wishes it could do so.

As to climate change and its impact- that is all beside the point.

Some zealots believe that they can accelerate the coming of Armageddon, End of Days and the Rapture by destroying the environment.

I have never heard of such, but that all is irrelevant to the oil for food program and the like.
