Let me guess. Overnight, after decade after decade of failure to address fossil fuels, we're magically going to solve the climate crisis because oil tankers can't get through the straights of Hormuz?

Donnie boy's a climate hero, is he?

What's going to happen? Germans are all going to get together and blow on their wind turbines and we'll be saved?

I note that the Germans funded the Ukraine war. Are they going to start sending Putin oodles of money again?

Unbelievable, really, unbelievable happy talk.
