Under Biden domestic oil production dropped by like 2M (due to covid), from all time highs, and everyone lost their minds. Oil companies will raise prices under any President who event hints at climate actions. That works because those people immediately capitulate and increase production. Obviously that means the other team will go hard the other way and just ramp up production until your tap water turns black and spontaneously combusts.
I think about LA, a major city where millions live and they still extract oil next to schools, people’s houses, etc. They didn’t even pass an ordinance to stop building new wells/derricks until 2023. And even then it was a 20-year phase out plan and not immediate. So a city where they have a history of high school water supplies being poisoned by an active well next to the football field, won’t even take action. Even the greedy real estate speculators can’t stop chevron from pumping oil in the parking lot of a cheesecake factory. it’s wild how much oil is still in control over everything.
All that to say is we’re going to blow past predictions. That whole fantasy we have of everyone coming to their senses at 3c is too optimistic. Nobody is going to be aware of anything even when we do 5 or 6c. It’s just going to be terrible things happening and everyone asking why while shooting the people with answers.
