US government estimates show that American companies will produce 12.9 million barrels of crude oil in 2023, double the amount of a decade ago.
US gas production volumes have also increased significantly this year, due to the construction of new export terminals in the Gulf of Mexico. US LNG exports are expected to double in the next four years.
The increase in oil and gas production contradicts US President Joe Biden’s regular warnings that the world is at risk of climate catastrophe if the amount of environmentally harmful emissions is not reduced.
“The Guardian”, referring to US government reports, wrote that record high oil and gas production could continue until 2050,
when, according to scientists, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions should be minimized to avoid a climate catastrophe.
It should be noted that US President Biden will not participate in the UN Climate Conference, which will begin on Thursday in Dubai. He has already received criticism for this, since the United States is one of the biggest polluters of the atmosphere.
