Parts of this NYTimes article read as if it was from the Onion. I am not blaming the Times - the Saudis have a strange position.
The Saudis want to negotiate with the oil consuming industrial nations some sort of mechanism by which the Saudis will get paid if oil revenues slump as conservation measures and climate change plans kick in and reduce consumption.
Someone should tell them that change can be tough.
Maybe the kingdom can start a blog.
