Oil = Evil. No compromise.
Gas = Evil. No compromise.
ESG principle stupidity.
If it were really about the environment, Canada would be a world leader in natural gas supply, AND also in the development of the technology used to extract and produce natural gas.
But instead, we are seeing a surge in coal power because of years of short sighted policies, which again have zero to do with actual environmental reasons.
This attitude and misconception can be seen in how Mathgod thinks the world should function.
Fossil fuels need to end immediately.
The only reason we don't have the battery technology needed to immediately replace fossil fuels is because oil companies are evil.
Etc, etc.
Anyone with a shred of common sense knows both of those things are not realistic at ALL.

I thought the prevailing research was showing that methane from natural gas extraction makes it as problematic as other fossil fuels in terms of greenhouse gases.
I think there are a majority of people who genuinely view climate change as a problem. Whether they are willing to accept any personal sacrifices to help stop it is another question though.
