It’s funny to hear Boris Johnson claim that “It’s one minute to midnight on the Doomsday Clock” of climate change until you add up the carbon footprint of all those world leaders going to Glasgow, especially Biden with half his cabinet and a vehicle motorcade of more than 20 full-size SUVs that were probably flown over in who knows how many C130 military transports. It’s akin to Leonardo DiCaprio flying to Europe in a private jet to collect his award for climate change activism.
Walter Russell Mead notes that by replacing the Middle East as a swing producer, oil independence is “America’s greatest single achievement of the past decade.” And now President Biden is begging OPEC to increase the flow of their oil, while cutting off ours.
