1) post - 2000 makes it look 'fresh', two decades of lookback diminishes the recent changes which look bad for the pro hydrocarbon camp.
2) Rob Bryce is now and always has been a Texas PR voice for the Texas oil baron crowd.
He comes to substack via the Institute for Energy Research ( a successor to the Institute for Humane Studies and another jewel in the Koch anti climate pro burn oil PR thinky tanks ) and the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (aka Centre of Conservative Turd Gilding and Polishing ).
His job is literally to spin data to make oil look good.
