We consume 101 million barrels of oil per day. The amount of oil humans consume per day has doubled since 1980. Is this the way we finally wake up to the urgency of addressing the climate crisis caused by burning fossil fuels?

It was abundantly clear that one of Iran's methods would be to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

Sadly, there are people in charge who think the former and ignored the latter.
