“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling #blackouts, with #electricity curbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #food queues, or the disruption to #fertilizers & the potential impact that that has on food #prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying,” Galey added. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #affordability #oil #energy

#Energy companies such as #Exxon & #Chevron do not set the price of #US #oil, which ricocheted from $68 to $115 a barrel during the quarter. It’s driven by supply & demand, & what traders, refiners & other buyers are willing to pay. Nevertheless, #Democrats in #Congress introduced bills in March to tax major oil producers for profits they show from 2026 onward & have the tax proceeds redistributed to #consumers. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #TrumpsWar #IranWar #economy #affordability

Six of #Europe’s largest #oil companies posted combined first-quarter profits of $22 billion, more than 40% higher than last year. “There are constituencies around the world who are having a very good crisis, & the oil producers are one of them,” said Patrick Galey, #FossilFuels lead at Global Witness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #CostOfLiving #EnergyCrisis

The money that #oil companies accrued between the beginning of April & the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. #Gasoline, #diesel & #JetFuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers & airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic #fuel #rationing in Australia & government office closures in Nepal & Sri Lanka. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #affordability #energy

#ExxonMobil on Friday reported that its second quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record #diesel production. The #oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%. #Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion & revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #oil #energy #EnergyCrisis

"In effect, the rest of #Canada is being asked to subsidize the #oilsands into global competitiveness.

We have reached a point of 'operational impossibility' that requires us to accept the need for strategic retreat -- to understand and acknowledge a natural force beyond our control. Is this enough to get folks to understand climate breakdown as a result of anthropogenic emissions is a real thing & we need to stop with the #FossilFuels, #BigOil & #TechBro fuckwittery French firefighters face 'pyrocumulonimbus' for first time https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260726-french-firefighters-face-pyrocumulonimbus-for-first-time

More than 250,000 people flee wildfires in France and Spain | Wildfires | The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/25/wildfires-force-250000-people-to-evacuate-in-france-and-spain

Hundreds of firefighters battle blazes as strong winds drive fires towards Bordeaux and smoke prompts health warnings in Madrid

Why are even "centrist" "Western" governments so pro-oil, anti-humanity that they pretend that there is no #climateEmergency ?

The report #OilCompanies are worried about: #ClimateAttribution science New report says our ability to tie weather damages to #ClimateChange is improving. John Timmer – Jul 17, 2026 Excerpt: "Climate change is being driven largely by the greenhouse gases we’ve pumped into the atmosphere, which trap more of the Sun’s energy there. That added energy increases the odds of extreme events: longer, more intense heat waves and droughts, interspersed with excessive precipitation. But these sorts of events have happened in the past—how can we tell if any given weather disaster has been made more likely by the climate? "It’s a question with implications for everything from building codes to disaster preparedness. And there’s some good news: According to a report released by the US National Academies of Science on Thursday, the field of climate attribution is growing increasingly mature and can answer some questions for us with far greater confidence than it could just a decade ago. The report also notes that there are still important limits and suggests steps to address them. "Overall, this makes it clear that climate attribution is normal, mainstream science. And the #FossilFuel industry views that as a problem, as it could make it easier to hold companies liable for damages. This has triggered a backlash that has Republicans in Congress and state governments threatening the National Academies’ funding."

Linda McQuaig: Don’t be fooled, Big Oil is calling the shots, not Carney

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/dont-be-fooled-big-oil-is-calling-the-shots-not-carney/article_66e5bff8-0a55-43bc-ac51-163758734f00.html

Big Oil demands Ottawa help them squeeze every dollop of bitumen from the ground — no matter how wildly fires rage across the country and how Trumpishly orange the skies

Carney is going along with Big Oil’s plans, not because he fails to grasp the severity of the climate threat, but because he’s been outsmarted and outmanoeuvred by Big Oil, which makes its demands through the Alberta government, which it effectively controls.

"there’s no getting around the deeply studied, well-documented truth: a habitable future on this planet requires a complete transition away from the #carbon economy. Lewis, at least, is honest on this point." #Canadians are being duped by those #climateCriminals who are captured by #fossilfuels and #BigOil. https://thewalrus.ca/avi-lewis-ndp-climate-plan/ #cdnpoli #climateEmergency #capitalismKills #Neoliberalism

#MarkCarney is yesterday's man. This is an absolutely hopeless failure of the moment. He must be defeated before he can complete the great harm that is his plan in turning Canada's future during a time of #EnergyTransition over to the foreign-owned #BigOil world burners. #cdnpoli RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:w5pxbmkjntxfw6mt4emennhv/post/3mpjsvqd2lk2q

Hold the Government to its promise! No new #oil and #gas in our seas. Offshore #drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens #whales, and won't even lower our #EnergyBills. It's time to stop letting #BigOil profit at the expense of our #ocean.
