It’s nothing new for climate ambition and climate hypocrisy (1) to flicker back and forth like the two faces of a lenticular hologram. When the United States helped forge (2) the Paris Agreement in 2015, it still forbade the export of crude oil and was shipping a pretty trivial (3) amount of natural gas overseas. But that legal ban was lifted the same month the climate agreement (4) was reached, and today the United States — already the biggest producer of oil in the world and its biggest consumer (5) — is also the world’s second-largest inter-regional exporter of crude. In 2015, the United States was shipping out just 1 per cent as much liquefied natural gas as Qatar, the world’s biggest exporter; today, it is the world’s largest exporter, as well as the largest consumer and largest producer.
