“I care about our planet,” she said. “And I care about the people that are impacted by climate change.” At the same time, she said she believed that the world should continue producing and burning oil and gas until every last molecule had been extracted from below the ground. When I asked her when the world should stop using oil and gas, she replied: “The day that should happen is the day when we run out of oil and gas.” Those two statements would seem to be at odds. Hollub acknowledges that man-made climate change, largely driven by the burning of fossil fuels, poses a catastrophic risk, a view shared by the overwhelming majority of experts and climate scientists. At the same time, she wants to continue using those fossil fuels for as long as possible. Hollub tried to reconcile these two seemingly contradictory views by arguing that it will one day be possible to use oil and gas without producing planet-warming emissions.
