Uh, no, it's very much still a crisis, no matter how much covering your eyes, stamping your feet and yelling "no" you do.

Oh look at that. The author, Steven E. Koonin, was employed by BP as their Chief Scientist. Then he was in the department of energy during Obama's administration.

I'm sure he doesn't have a vested interest in oil though.

The energy transition’s purported climate benefits are distant, vague and uncertain while the costs and disruption of rapid decarbonization are immediate and substantial.

Yeah... No conflict of interest here at all.

Fades out? Really?! The daily sea surface temperatures have been setting records every single day for about 15 months and there's no hint it's going to stop soon or maybe ever. We are sitting at about .75 degrees Celsius above the 1982-2011 mean temperatures.

This is serious shit and it is NOT fading away.
