Climate warning

US oil production hits all-time high, conflicting with efforts to cut heat-trapping pollution

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration reported that American oil production in the first week of October hit 13.2 million barrels per day, passing the previous record set in 2020 by 100,000 barrels. Weekly domestic oil production has doubled from the first week in October 2012 to now.

    At times the Biden administration is just confusing.. it gives contradicting sides and makes it difficult for us to know what they really stand for.

        This poses a big challenge in the fight against #climatechange. Balancing economic interests with environmental priorities is a pressing issue and it should be addressed amicably.

          The increase in US oil production is concerning as it goes against efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

              This is deeply concerning. On top of the climate issues we are currently experiencing , talk of adding salt to injury

                  It's disappointing keeping in mind Biden has been in the fore-front as an ambassador in fighting climate change.

                    Wait, but everyday I'm told Biden is doing really well and had stopped so much oil mining. Was this...... propaganda?
