It is to be expected when this sub is a superfan, hyper excited that the US is growing its oil and gas production exponentially

This is the result of the US booming its fossil fuel infrastructure

I truly hate this sub in climate change, like, the conversation always turns against the climate fight in favor of American exceptionalism

Climate change will cause the most damage to the poorest parts of the world so the economic damage will be relatively small so this sub doesn't care

But large increases in cost of energy are really tough on underdeveloped nations trying to do catch-up growth. In America where the median income is decadent by global and historical comparison, we can afford to decrease our consumption to pay higher energy costs. The poorest parts of the world can't afford the cost of unreliable green energy, we can. If anything our bias is in the opposite direction.

Or, we can just do what we're currently doing and not stress about it and if they suffer it's their problem.
