They want to sell oil, which global climate alarmism wants to stop... so why should they be backing Democrats?
Global climate alarmism isn’t about climate, it’s about alarmism. What they want is to destroy any semblance of a prosperous politically independent middle class, and create a permanently dependent underclass. One of the means to that goal is the destruction of the suburban way of life, and herding the formerly prosperous denizens into the cities where they will be subject to government rationing for everything, energy being one of those items. People who are subject to rationing are not free. Suburban living is dependent on cheap abundant energy. So energy rationing through climate change alarmism is a two-fer; it destroys the suburbs and is an element in underclass dependency.
The Saudis finance this willingly. Their oil will always sell, but to drive the prices up and make maximum profit, it serves their purpose to destroy American domestic production, which is also the goal of the climate change alarmists. So the Saudis finance this fraud, knowing full well that it will not apply to them. The price of oil goes up as American production goes down, and the Americans will still buy some of it at a high price. Also, they will sell it, at a high price, to the Chinese and Indians who have absolutely no intention of abiding by any sort of climate treaty.
The climate change folks want political control. The Saudis want money. Both groups have their different goals served by having America commit energy suicide.
Nobody pushing this climate change fraud really believes it. If they did, they wouldn’t live like they do.
