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.

Decreases in production aren't designed to help the environment. OPEC reduces production to raise prices on oil so they can bleed people dry. In the 1960 Making of the President, Theodore White wrote how everyone understood at that time that fossil fuels were dead. But here we are. Fossil fuel just won't die.

Who cares what they're designed to do. Shouldn't we celebrate along with Greta anything that benefits the environment?

@irishmolly72 not a big enough impact to make me celebrate but I don't see an issue with anyone else celebrating. However the end result is some very bad people getting a shit ton more money to do bad things.
