I thought they were going to mine it. Did they change their minds?

Too bad. I hope the straight stays closed for good.
A lot of poorer countries are going to suffer tremendously from this. Not just because of the oil, but because of other products like fertilizer. This is leading us into to a massive worldwide humanitarian disaster.
People love the international poor suffering. Well, realistically, their despair in preventing rapid climate change is larger. They don’t actually care for the south, consistently.

The poor will suffer way worse if we don’t stop using fossil fuels. This is short term thinking.

Ideally we would transition in a sane, controlled way that doesn’t cause economic chaos. But since we haven’t done that, it just leaves the hard way.
