OPEC responds to the net zero lunacy

I have kids who are young adults now. They feel helpless when faced with the shortsightedness and in part sheer imbecility of current lawmakers and politicians in the world. It definitely puts a strain on their lives.

On the other hand, to try helping them to get their heads up a bit, I keep telling them that politicians have always been shortsighted imbeciles, and that we aren’t faced with the first existential threat to humanity. I was a kid during the cold war, and know what it is like to grow up with the permanent threat of being pulverized at any given second.

Nowadays, the threat is more diffuse and insidious. But it is still real, and we all face the pressure. Young people are more sensible to it though. They probably also hold the keys to go on and learn how to live with it.
