I have been writing about climate change for 15 years and this year I have been experiencing more deeply disturbing cognitive dissonance than ever before
One thing I think not enough people know is that the US is the biggest oil producer in the world and this year, eight years since the Paris Agreement was signed, will be the biggest single year for US oil production in history. 2024 will break that record.
Major Fossil Fuel Producers Are Likely to Blow Past Climate Change Targets
Countries including U.S., Russia, and China are set to blow past production goals in spite of pledges to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
Thankyou for writing about the dissonance. It's what millions of us are going through. Seeing other people publicly talk about it is like lancing a boil.
