THEY CONSTANTLY FIND REASONS TO DRILL.

The US president, Joe Biden, has come under severe criticism from climate activists, despite his green investment push, for pressing ahead with investment in fossil fuels. In recent weeks, he approved an area of the Gulf of Mexico amounting to about 73m acres, roughly the size of Italy, for drilling for oil and gas wells. A fortnight before that, he approved the Willow project, a drilling site in Alaska that is expected to produce 600m barrels of oil over its lifetime. Further licences are also possible, and the US is looking to expand its shale gas production and export to Europe under Biden’s watch. Kerry robustly defended these actions, on the grounds that more fossil fuels were needed temporarily because of the war in Ukraine, and said some oil and gas expansion could occur within climate limits, particularly if carbon capture and storage, or other ways of reducing the impact of the fossil fuels, could be used. “Gas usage is an automatic 30-50% reduction over oil and coal. It’s not clean, it’s cleaner,” he said. “So now the question is, can carbon capture and storage be deployed at a scale that makes it possible to meet our goals?”

    It seems most scientists consider the tipping point has now been reached and this year will be another record breaker. Wars will accelerate the sad demise of the world all down to just a few thousand people with vested interests, all most probably over 50.
