Another media trip to climate cloud cuckoo land, as they insist on cutting supply of oil as demand increases, without viable alternatives in place, to feed their unrealistic climate obsessions and tired beliefs. But it’s just not happening.

United States domestic oil production has hit an all-time high last week, contrasting with efforts to slice heat-trapping carbon emissions [Talkshop comment – no ‘heat-trap’ evidence offered] by the Biden administration and world leaders, says AP News.
And it conflicts with oft-repeated Republican talking points of a Biden “war on American energy.”
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration reported that American oil production in the first week of October hit 13.2 million barrels per day, passing the previous record set in 2020 by 100,000 barrels.
Weekly domestic oil production has doubled from the first week in October 2012 to now.
With the United Nations and scientists saying the world needs to cut carbon emissions — from burning coal, oil and natural gas — by 43% by 2030 and down to zero or close to it by 2050, several developed countries across the world are dangerously producing more, not less, fossil fuels, experts say. [Talkshop comment – no evidence offered of ‘danger’ due to human activities].

Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson, who heads the emissions-tallying group Global Carbon Project, said no country or company wants to cut oil and gas production if someone else is going to sell oil anyway.

“…no country or company wants to cut oil and gas production if someone else is going to sell oil anyway.”
Except the UK.
Had to comment….
“”And it conflicts with oft-repeated Republican talking points of a Biden “war on American energy.””
Biden and the Democrats have been on the record many times saying negative things about oil and gas, as well as actively trying to diminish the amount of oil and gas produced from federal lands.
There are still active oil and gas production facilities on federal lands that cannot be legally stopped by the Democrats, so that is part of the total supply produced.
But there is also increased production from oil and gas on private lands. It is currently illegal for Democrats and Biden to stop the legal extraction of these products.
If you need links and sources feel free to ask and I will try to find them for you. This article, and many others in the mainstream press, always try to present the opposite of what they are trying to do, because they know the average voter opposes higher costs at the pump and for other necessities that are downstream from manufacturing activity.
The phrase ‘heat-trapping pollution’ is a laughable invention of the alarmist media. There’s no heat trap and no pollution, as far as CO2 is concerned.
Oil Poised To Become U.S.’ Single Largest Export Product
Oct 16, 2023
In August alone, the value of U.S. oil exports, at $10.3 billion, had the highest share of all American exports with 6%, followed by gasoline and other fuels, per WorldCity data. In terms of tonnage, oil’s share was also the highest—at 24%, followed by LNG and gasoline and other fuels.

Meanwhile UK leaders agonise over opening one oil field to production, and try to tax the North Sea industry almost out of existence. Then wonder how to service the ballooning national debt. Can-do USA and can’t-do UK.
