Actually, we need to bring down the cost for oil as well as methane in order to #KeepItInTheGround so these falling prices are terrific news.

About half of the oil companies in the USA will go out of business if the price for a barrel were to be brought down to below about $55/barrel for two quarters in a row.

The quicker we can put fossil fuel companies out of business the better.

Russia has discovered the world's largest oil reserves off the coast of Antarctica.

The reserves found are massive. 511 billion barrels. Venezuela, which is the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, has 303 billion barrels. Saudi Arabia has 298 billion, and Canada, 160 billion.

Hopefully, the world will unite to #KeepItInTheGround

The Guardian and a consensus of 380 IPCC members are painting an accurate but very depressing picture of the #ClimateEmergency.

The world, especially its politicians, needs to wake up to what is inevitably going to continue to unfold over the next few decades. It's not about having a bit more rain and some uncomfortably warm summers, and a few islands we can't afford to visit disappearing under water. It's about floods, fires, storms, food insecurity, mass migration and in the worst case scenario societal collapse.
