Subtitle: > World’s fossil-fuel producers on track to nearly quadruple output from newly approved projects by decade’s end, report finds The leading paragraph is the same thing, but adds "with the US leading the way in a surge of activity that threatens to blow apart agreed climate goals". While I am sure that "nearly quadruple" really mashes a lot of climate activist's buttons, it would be nice to see mention of the total production trend. Or mention of serious [vs. mostly-performative] efforts to reduce the demand for oil and gas. Buying an electric car is a plausible & often-fashionable course of action for the 1%. But from the PoV of the world's 99%, who simply don't have that option, and whose daily lives are dependent on fossil fuels - it's pretty easy to understand the backlash. Current trends and memes for technology, the ultra-rich, the 1%, and the climate activists can sound eerily similar to "let's just kill off the 99%, and replace them with AI-powered robots".
