New drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I struggle to imagine, at this particular moment in time, how anybody would want to make our climate issues worse than they are. How many preventable deaths will it take for our politicians to carry out their primary purpose, the safety and security of the people. A fundamentally illogical failure.
