Biden lambasts a victory for the environment

News Flash: Several OPEC+ members are set to tighten global production by an additional 1.16 million barrels per day until the end of the year. They're helping save the environment!!!!!!!!!

YAY! Right?

U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly lambasted the OPEC+ group for its production cuts.

Shouldn't Joe and Greta et al. be praising OPEC from the rooftops? I just don't get it. Fossil fuels are too polluting for us to produce for ourselves and the world, yet when our pushers in the middle east stop producing them we get in an uproar.

Please explain.

Presidential performance is often incorrectly tied to gas prices at the pump. President has very little control over it beyond what they can do as far as releasing from strategic preserve. But fuel prices are something felt by most Americans. So properly or improperly blamed, presidential reputations can be made or broken on gas prices.
