Oil industry appeals ruling “threatening to halt new and existing oil and natural gas production and activity in the” Gulf of Mexico.
Author: David Middleton
I've been a geologist/geophysicist in the "climate wrecking industry since 1981, including a six-year exile into management. The vast majority of my career has been spent in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily in the East Cameron South Addition, Garden Banks (East Cameron South Addition South), Green Canyon and Mississippi Canyon areas.
I also have a strong interest in paleoclimatology and am a frequent contributor to Watts Up With That? https://wattsupwiththat.com/author/debunkhouse/
