   I made a mistake of replying to a post of one of the lawyers South Africa employed to make their case at The Hague. It seemed more like a news story than a personal support post.

   I wouldn't comment on such a politically fraught subject since climate action is divisive enough, but I believe they're intertwined.

   It seems so obvious to me that South Africa is doing this in order to help ratchet up anger at the USA and particularly Democrats who threaten the fossil fuel industry.
