Everything this woman says is either wrong or a lie. That's all you need to know.

"I care about our planet," she said. "And I care about the people that are impacted by climate change."
At the same time, she said she believed that the world should continue producing and burning oil and gas until every last molecule had been extracted from below the ground. When I asked her when the world should stop using oil and gas, she replied: "The day that should happen is the day when we run out of oil and gas."
Those two statements would seem to be at odds. Hollub acknowledges that man-made climate change, largely driven by the burning of fossil fuels, poses a catastrophic risk, a view shared by the overwhelming majority of experts and climate scientists. At the same time, she wants to continue using those fossil fuels for as long as possible.
Hollub tried to reconcile these two seemingly contradictory views by arguing that it will one day be possible to use oil and gas without producing planet warming emissions.

JFC! Even if we can eliminate all CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels with carbon dioxide removal (CDR) or carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) (we can't; not even close), we shouldn't keep setting carbon on fire because air pollution from combustion will still kill millions of people every year.

A tweet from Matthew Yglesias, a very unserious person:

As a very serious person, I'm confused about this.

Isn't that obviously the point? If you can make carbon capture work, then you can keep burning fossil fuels and not worry about the climate impact — which would be good because climate change is bad.

The thing about "just move away from areas where natural disasters are likely" this time around is I feel like "the mountains flooded" isn't really registering with people.

I mean, look, there is no utopian vision of a world with 2°C warming. But we can commit to protect as much and as many as possible, and build better systems than we have now. Let's do that.

This is a Chevron ad that appeared on today's Ezra Klein column about Trump and the MAGA movement. It's so egregious that the New York Times still runs these! 1/2
