Former President Barack Obama claimed credit Tuesday for the recent boom in U.S. oil production immediately after praising the Paris Climate Accords, which committed the U.S. to dramatically reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

“I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris accords because — you know, I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy, and by the way, American energy production,” Obama told the audience gathered at Rice University’s Baker Institute on Tuesday night. “You wouldn’t always know it but it went up every year I was president. That whole, suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people.”

“National commitments to combat climate change come up short,” the U.N.’s Environment Program said this week.

Making promises was the easy bit. Getting countries to follow through with painful steps like shutting down coal-fired power plants, revamping their car industries and funneling billions from rich to poor countries in climate finance is proving a lot tougher.

 

Amused me that this was in Paris, French are known for signing up to pretty much anything that makes them look good but then not following through.

This was also good.  I guess it is all Trump’s fault even though the US has consistently been the world leader in CO2 reduction.  It had nothing to do with a feel good agreement signed by many that had/have no intention of meeting targets with no consequences.

 

“You’ve got a hostile environment,” said Rachel Kyte, special representative of the United Nations secretary-general on making energy accessible to the poor. “It’s not just the U.S. The U.S. is giving other people the permission to be less than their best selves.”

On “Fox & Friends” Thursday, former Shell Oil Company President John Hofmeister said Obama is correct that oil production increased throughout his two terms, but “he had nothing to do with it.”

 

“This was production in states like Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, North Dakota, in particular. And these were all state decisions made with industry applications for permits. The federal government had no role,” Hofmeister said.

I remember Obama having quite a bit of influence on oil production.  The North slope of Alaska and Keystone come to mind.
