shutdown all pipelines and put up renewables..not

OIL PRICES saw a huge surge on Thursday, sending the US crude benchmark past $90 a barrel for the first time since 2014.
The development comes at the time when Turkey is keen in resuming talks with Israel about using Israeli natural gas and transporting it to Europe, a news outlet has claimed.
According to Daily Sabah, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: “We can use Israeli natural gas in our country, and beyond using it, we can also engage in a joint effort on its passage to Europe.”
Over the recent years, Turkey and Israel’s relationship have been critical after a fallout in 2018, when Turkey criticized Israel for its activities in the West Bank and its treatment of Palestinians.
Israel, for its part, has demanded that Turkey drop support for Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In 2018, Turkey and Israel expelled each other’s ambassadors, following clashes on the Gaza border in which Israeli forces killed Palestinians.
The price surge came due to ongoing supply worries and as frigid weather cascades across the United States. Global benchmark Brent crude settled at $91.11 a barrel, up $1.64, or 1.8 percent, while West Texas Intermediate crude soared $2.01, or 2.3 percent, higher to end at $90.27 a barrel, the first time the US benchmark has closed above the $90-level since Oct 6, 2014.
The market has also been influenced by developments between Russia and the West over the former's aggressive posture towards Ukraine.
The United States warned Russia was planning to use a staged attack as justification for invading the neighboring nation.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has blamed NATO and the West for increased tensions, even as he has moved thousands of troops closer to Ukraine's border.

First, being held under water at 0.1 inches isn't much different than being held under at 10 feet.
Second, yes, the average. Nothing else about that chart disturbs you, Tom?
the same pattern existed 50,000 years ago, and somehow the earth survived. Man is not causing climate fluctuations, cannot stop them, and has never had anything to do with them. But run for the hills if you are scared.
Dude, Earth's atmosphere used to be methane. Of course the fucking planet will be fine. It's the humans living upon it who have to consider what they are doing to themselves because, TBH, Earth doesn't care.
Even baby birds know not to shit in their own nest. Anti-science morons remind me of people who never clean their kitchen, shit just outside the door and then wonder why they are always getting sick. Like the anti-vaxxers, I support both "my body, my choice" and "Evolution in action". Let'em die.

We agree, pollution is the thing we should be screaming about------------------not the fricken man made climate change bullshit. Please tell your liberal friends to STFU about climate and focus on pollution.
In Brief:
Direct observations made on and above Earth’s surface show the planet’s climate is significantly changing. Human activities are the primary driver of those changes.
Correct. Nations need to get off the oil tit, the petro-dollar economy, but that could take another 50 years even with all nations are doing now.
Only a fucking moron thinks the world should be tied to Middle East oil.
Yep new technology will slowly replace the old technology. Personally I think we should gradually shift to CNG for 50-75 years as we slowly phase in electric. I like flow battery technology also.Uh, yeah, that's not the argument rational people make. Non-leftists assume that the technology will inevitably be developed over the course of the next 50 years.
Leftists claim that the current energy system must be shutdown immediately, with no replacement technologies to readily implement. A highly scientific argument.
No, it's not. Do you have a link to the DNC stating that policy?Uh, yeah, that's not the argument rational people make. Non-leftists assume that the technology will inevitably be developed over the course of the next 50 years.
