Readit Newslocal CO2 emissions. This has not affected pumping of oil, and since we aren't even able to store much oil, that means it's getting burned. That makes it clear the global effect must be very close to zero. And for CO2, only global matters.
For example, there are oil fields that are unexploited because they would not be profitable. If demand rose, prices would rise and new wells would be opened. The reverse is also true.

Are you sure?
Not sure how “break” would be interpreted in this context. Maybe it should make the program crash, or it could be equivalent to “continue” (in the programming model, all of the iterations would be happening in parallel anyway).
I vaguely feel like “for” would actually have been the best English word for this construct, if we stripped out the existing programming context. I mean, if somebody post gives you instructions like:
For each postcard, sign your name and put it in an envelope
You don’t expect there to be any non-trivial dependencies between iterations, right? Although, we don’t often give each other complex programs in English, so maybe the opportunity for non-trivial dependencies just doesn’t really arise anyway…
In math, usually when you encounter “for,” it is being applied to a whole set of things without any loop dependency implied (for all x in X, x has some property). But maybe that’s just an artifact of there being less of a procedural bias in math…
It may be a good idea to use a framework with explicitly stateless "tasks" and an orchestrator (parallel, distributed, or both). This is what Spark, Tensorflow, Beam and others do. Those will have a "parallel for" as well, but now in addition to threads you can use remote computers as well with a configuration change.
After all, that's what "colorless" implies to me: it's possible to take a non-async function and make it async without having to change its callers. This suggests we don't change its return type.
