    Uh, no, it’s very much still a crisis, no matter how much covering your eyes, stamping your feet and yelling “no” you do.

    Oh look at that. The author, Steven E. Koonin, was employed by BP as their Chief Scientist. Then he was in the department of energy during Obama’s administration.

    I’m sure he doesn’t have a vested interest in oil though.

    The energy transition’s purported climate benefits are distant, vague and uncertain while the costs and disruption of rapid decarbonization are immediate and substantial.

    Yeah… No conflict of interest here at all.
