You only get a golden oldie today. Here’s what I was writing 11 years ago; apparently I may as well have printed it out and buried it in my garden. Carbon dioxide emissions and methane emissions are both up substantially in 2019. McCain is arguing for offshore drilling to lower US petroleum prices in the […]
