Climate

President Biden said that climate change is a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear war. He promised to end fossil fuels. There has not been much coverage about the climate change issue since the US is now producing more oil and natural gas than anytime in history. In addition coal exports have reached record highs. As President, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that's what climate change is about. July 2022. President has announced a number of actions designed to move away from fossil fuels but these actions have not had the desired effect. Global oil demand reached an all time high of 103 million b/d in June 2023. Despite Russia's lower exports to Europe, natural gas production has reached all time highs. World coal consumption increased to record levels. The people are reacting much like government when it comes to climate change. They are still building big houses in the suburbs and commuting in their SUV's. Their garage is full of law care equipment, recreational vehicles and water thirsty lawns. Many have a second home or a lake cabin where the same equipment is needed along with a boat. People do not like electric cars nor do they like public transportation. Both the people and the government talk a good game when it comes to climate but actions is missing. The coverage of climate change has quieted down since Biden took office but many expect that if Trump is elected this will change and once again climate will be in the news. This illustrates the political aspect of climate change.
