I am just appalled by the media coverage of President Donald J. Trump's decision to approve the Willow oil drills in Alaska. WHY is the framing "Biden vs the activists," when even the International Energy Agency says that meeting the 1.5C target of the #ParisAgreement requires no new fossil energy development? THREAD
