I'm not saying The Economist is batshit insane enough to still be pushing Trump style lies about climate change. But it's an absolute fact that Trump and Putin only managed to get away with such insanities because for decades the right wing, after initially accepting climate science and starting to put measures in place, got bought by fossil fuel interests. The Economist was and still is part of that. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2022/06/23/the-rights-and-wrongs-of-investing-in-natural-gas https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2022/06/23/t... Here's an article from 2022 and yeah it's not Trump level "China Hoax" stuff, but it's still clearly worrying that investing in gas isn't attractive enough, as if that's the big problem we face. Similarly the current article. Expensive energy kills apparently, so what's the cheapest source of Winter heating? Wind powered heat pumps in well insulated homes? Probably not worth mentioning, just underline that without Russian gas we die.
