Climate

On October 10, 2023 Kirby said, John Kirby, the National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, reaffirmed Monday that the president and his administration still believe climate change is the largest threat facing the U.S. and world since it is capable of "wiping out all human life." In 2023, the United States produced a record 125 billion cubic feet per day (CFD) of natural gas, which was a 4% increase from the previous record set in 2022. This made the U.S. the world's largest producer of natural gas, The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row.Mar 11, 2024. Some say the answer to this seeming contradiction is that $4 gas is a bigger threat than climate change. If the US had maintained the original Biden plan to end fossil fuel that gas prices would be so high that they would be a challenge to his reelection chances. Even VP Harris now understands that ending fracking is not acceptable. No one in the press is even talking about climate change.
