Professor Bulkan gets it right on every point! And it is not possible to truly debate someone like President Ali who is intent on bluster and fueled by the dream of being a petro-state with attendant social "development" (read environmental degradation).

Yes, so many countries are in a rush to get oil/gas/LNG exported before it is all (properly) banned. Choose Life or oil.
