    Major #OilCompanies reap massive profits as US and Iran fighting drives energy prices higher

    NEW YORK (AP) — "American oil and gas giants raked in massive spring profits while fighting between Iran and the U.S. impeded petroleum shipments and consumers around the world paid more for fuel and confronted shortages.

    "The conflict, now in its sixth month, halted most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that previously served as a delivery route for a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas. With global supplies constrained, prices for Brent crude, the international standard, soared from about $70 to above $100 a barrel for much of March, April and May, and at one point reached $126.

    "The money that oil companies accrued between the beginning of April and the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers and airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic fuel rationing in #Australia and government office closures in #Nepal and #SriLanka.

    " #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 and revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion.

    "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, and the oil producers are one of them,' said Patrick Galey, #FossilFuels lead at #GlobalWitness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues. 'When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with #RollingBlackouts, with #ElectricityCurbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #FoodQueues, or the disruption to fertilizers and 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.'

  4. The Spoils of Oil Wars

    You do not need a conspiracy theory when you have a balance sheet. The Iran war has eliminated America's two main rivals in the global LNG market. Senator Lindsey Graham told us it was a good investment. He was not wrong.

    #AntiProtestLaws Threaten #Indigenous and #Climate Movements

    #CriticalInfrastructure” laws in over a dozen states wrongly invoke national security to justify targeting #PipelineProtesters.

    Kaylana Mueller-Hsia, March 17, 2021

    "In 2016 as a member of Congress, #DebHaaland stood for four days in solidarity with protesters at the #StandingRockSioux Reservation against construction of the #DakotaAccessPipeline. Today, as the first #NativeAmerican to be the secretary of the interior — the first to lead any cabinet department — she has the opportunity to support the #FirstAmendment rights of the protesters she joined in the past.

    "With her authority over energy development on federal lands, Haaland can be a voice for Indigenous and climate movements facing an urgent threat: the rapid spread of laws to protect 'critical infrastructure' that single out activists.

    "Since 2016, 13 states have quietly enacted laws that increase criminal penalties for trespassing, damage, and interference with infrastructure sites such as oil refineries and pipelines. At least five more states have already introduced similar legislation this year. These laws draw from national security legislation enacted after 9/11 to protect physical infrastructure considered so 'vital' that the 'incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.'

    "Many industry sectors are designated critical infrastructure, including food and agriculture, energy, water and wastewater, and communications, but most state critical infrastructure laws focus more narrowly on oil and gas #pipelines. While protecting critical infrastructure is a legitimate government function, these laws clearly target environmental and Indigenous activists by significantly raising the penalties for participating in or even tangentially supporting pipeline trespassing and property damage, crimes that are already illegal. Many laws are modelled on draft legislation prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council, also known as #ALEC, a powerful lobbying group funded by #FossilFuel companies like #ExxonMobil and #Shell.

    "Central to the new critical infrastructure laws are increased criminal penalties and vague, broad definitions that could discourage protest and particularly, nonviolent civil disobedience. Many laws make any 'damage' to or 'interference' with a facility deemed critical infrastructure a felony. Under #Ohio’s law, trespass with the purpose of 'tampering' with a facility is a third degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Indiana, a felony conviction is applied for any facility trespass, a crime that is typically a misdemeanor or fine.

    "Vague language like 'damage,' 'tamper,' and 'impede' in critical infrastructure laws makes it unclear if, for example, knocking down #SafetyCones and starting a fire next to a natural gas facility are the same under the law. Many critical infrastructure laws do not clarify if they apply only to land a company fully owns or also to pipeline easements, which run through both public and private lands. At least some laws apply to both. Only a week after Louisiana’s critical infrastructure law was enacted, opponents of the Bayou Bridge pipeline were charged with trespassing for boating on public waters on the border of a pipeline easement.

    "The combination of overly broad language and steep penalties in critical infrastructure laws make it likely that future activists and supporting organizations will be discouraged from exercising their First Amendment-protected protest rights. A lawsuit brought in response to the #BayouBridge charges will test the laws for the first time on First Amendment grounds.

    "Many of these laws even extend beyond the protesters. In a proposed law in #Minnesota, anyone who 'recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires' someone to trespass without a 'reasonable effort' to prevent the trespassing is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In #Oklahoma organizations that conspire with perpetrators are liable to be fined up to $1 million. These laws may infringe on the freedom of association protected under the First Amendment. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled that the illegal actions of a few individuals do not implicate an entire group.

    "The criminalization of environmental protest is fueled by federal security agencies and oil and gas companies, who are often major political donors. For years, the Department of #HomelandSecurity and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have labelled activists at infrastructure sites as #DomesticTerrorists and violent extremists in order to justify further #surveillance and #policing. Government documents have been released that detail the FBI’s focus on '#AnimalRights / #EnvironmentalExtremism,' describing even #NonviolentProtesters as #extremists.

    "At Standing Rock, a private security firm [#Blackwater] hired by the pipeline companies consistently referred to protesters as 'terrorists' while working with law enforcement. Ahead of the #KeystoneXLPipeline protests in 2018, #DHS agents held an '#AntiTerrorism training' for state and local authorities. In contrast, members of the #FarRight militant group the #ThreePercenters have established a significant presence at oil and gas plants with little law enforcement reaction.

    "To be sure, as the recent power outages in Texas showed so vividly, the United States needs reliable energy. But it’s questionable whether pipeline construction sites that could feasibly be moved or replaced with renewable energy sources should legitimately be considered 'vital' to the energy grid. Furthermore, a singular focus on this aspect of security comes at the cost of others. Whose essential resources do pipeline projects protect and whose do they threaten? Black Americans are disproportionately likely to live near natural #GasPipelines and experience higher #CancerRisk due to unclean air. An oil spill from the Dakota Access Pipeline could devastate the #SiouxTribe’s water source. Meanwhile, on some reservations, 10 percent of households lack electricity and as many as 40 percent of households must haul water and use outhouses. The well-being of these communities must count too.

    "The rise in critical infrastructure laws may foreshadow more anti-protest legislation to come. A similar wave of anti-protest laws has already begun in response to the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protests. State legislators contemplating critical infrastructure laws should bear in mind that laws that criminalize trespassing and protect the safety of construction workers and law enforcement already exist. Critical infrastructure laws don’t fill an unmet need — they only raise the penalties for specific groups of people. Courts adjudicating #FirstAmendment challenges in the coming years should recognize that these laws are overbroad and impose disproportionately severe penalties that chill freedom of assembly and association.

    "As secretary of the interior, Haaland promises to uplift the voices of Indigenous and climate protesters in the Biden administration. State legislators, law enforcement, and the fossil fuel industry should follow suit and listen to these activists rather than suppressing constitutionally protected activity under the guise of national security."

  6. 36 empresas de #combustiblesfósiles son las causantes de la mitad de las emisiones en todo el mundo

    https://elperiodicodelaenergia.com/36-empresas-de-combustibles-fosiles-son-las-causantes-de-la-mitad-de-las-emisiones-en-todo-el-mundo/

    Petroleras, productoras de #carbón o #industriales se encuentran en el listado de las compañías más contaminantes que elabora #CarbonMajors.

    Un nuevo análisis de los últimos datos de emisiones de la base de datos Carbon Majors revela que las emisiones de los mayores productores de #petróleo, #gas, #carbón y #cemento del mundo aumentaron en 2023 en comparación con 2022, y más del 50 % de estas emisiones se vincularon a solo 36 empresas.

    A pesar de la abrumadora evidencia científica que relaciona las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero con el catastrófico #calentamientoglobal, 93 de las empresas de la base de datos Carbon Majors aumentaron sus emisiones en 2023, incluidas 50 empresas privadas.

    Estas son las principales conclusiones del informe:

    Las empresas estatales dominaron las emisiones globales en 2023. 16 de los 20 principales emisores son de propiedad estatal y, en general, los emisores estatales contribuyeron con el 52 % de las emisiones globales en 2023.

    Las empresas #chinas contribuyeron significativamente más que las empresas de cualquier otra nación. Produjeron el 23% de las emisiones globales de #CO2 de combustibles fósiles y cemento en 2023, manteniendo el liderazgo que tenían en 2022.

    Las emisiones de cemento están aumentando significativamente. Cuatro de las cinco empresas con los mayores aumentos relativos de emisiones en 2023 fueron cementeras (#HolcimGroup, #HeidelbergMaterials, #UltraTechCement y #CRH), siendo las emisiones de cemento las que registraron el mayor aumento relativo entre los cuatro tipos de materias primas. Ninguna empresa cementera figura entre los cinco mayores emisores en general.

    "Es verdaderamente alarmante que las mayores empresas de combustibles fósiles sigan aumentando sus emisiones ante el empeoramiento de los desastres naturales causados ​​por el #cambioclimático, haciendo caso omiso de la evidencia científica de que estas emisiones nos están perjudicando a todos. Está más claro que nunca que las empresas privadas sucias, impulsadas por las ganancias y el statu quo, nunca optarán por autorregularse", afirma #TzeporahBerman, fundadora y copresidenta de la Iniciativa del Tratado de No Proliferación de Combustibles Fósiles.

    Los cinco principales emisores estatales (#SaudiAramco, #CoalIndia, #CHNEnergy, #NationalIranianOilCo. y #JinnengGroup) fueron responsables del 17,4 % de todas las emisiones de CO2 en 2023 (7,4 GtCO2e). Cabe destacar que Coal India, CHN Energy, National Iranian Oil Co y Jinneng Group aumentaron sus emisiones en 2023 en comparación con 2022.

    Los cinco principales emisores propiedad de inversores privados (#ExxonMobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #TotalEnergies y #BP) representaron el 4,9% de las emisiones globales de CO2 en 2023 (2,2 GtCO2e).

    El conjunto de datos Carbon Majors cubre las emisiones desde 1854 hasta 2023, y revela que el 67,5 % de las emisiones industriales #antropogénicas de CO2 desde la #RevoluciónIndustrial se pueden rastrear hasta 180 entidades productoras #estatales y #corporativas en la base de datos.

  7. 'Reckless Conduct' of #BigOil Caused #HurricaneMilton—And Now They Should Pay

    "The failure by our political class to deal with this completely solvable issue is staggering and shameful," wrote one journalist.

    Julia Conley
    Oct 09, 2024

    [...] "As Nathan J. Robinson wrote in Current Affairs, climate scientists and meteorologists have unequivocally told oil companies and policymakers that #FossilFuel extraction is causing planetary heating, which has led to higher temperatures in oceans and bodies of water including the Gulf of Mexico, where the rapidly strengthening hurricane formed.

    "But despite the knowledge that fossil fuel giants like #ExxonMobil and #Shell had decades ago that drilling for oil and gas would cause '#ViolentWeather' and 'potentially #catastrophic events,' the industry's profits have only grown as the U.S. has continued to subsidize their #pollution-causing activities.

    "'The failure by our political class to deal with this completely solvable issue is staggering and shameful,' wrote Robinson. 'Many of them have children and grandchildren. Presumably they would like their descendants to inherit a world worth living in. And they could make that happen. Unfortunately, it would require challenging the power and profits of some of America's most influential corporations.'

    "In the Substack newsletter Heated, Arielle Samuelson explained on Wednesday how fossil fuel extraction and planetary heating 'mutated' Hurricane Milton, which stunned weather experts this week as its wind speeds grew at a record-breaking pace, from 60 miles per hour to 180 miles per hour in just 36 hours.

    "It was the second time in recent weeks that a hurricane in the region has intensified quickly; areas that are expected to take a direct hit from Milton are still overwhelmed by the destruction left by Hurricane Helene.

    "Hot temperatures in the planets' oceans and gulfs fuels hurricanes, and as Samuelson noted, scientists say the 'extremely hot' Gulf of Mexico 'was made far more likely by heat-trapping pollutants from the fossil fuel, #agriculture, #chemical, and #cement industries.'"

  10. Tribes Sue Six Oil Giants for #ClimateDeception

    "These oil companies knew their products were dangerous, yet they did nothing to mitigate those dangers or warn any of us about them, for decades," said the chairwoman of the #ShoalwaterBay Indian Tribe.

    Julia Conley
    Dec 20, 2023

    "Two Indigenous tribes in #WashingtonState said Wednesday that they intend to force several oil giants 'to help pay for the high costs of surviving the catastrophe caused by the #ClimateCrisis,' as they filed lawsuits in the state's largest trial court.

    "The #Makah Indian Tribe and Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe filed two separate complaints in King County Superior Court against #ExxonMobil, #Shell, #Chevron, #BP, #ConocoPhillips, and #Phillips66, saying the defendants must be held 'accountable for their deceptive and unfair conduct, and pay for the damage their deceptive conduct has caused and will cause for decades to come.'

    "The lawsuits—among dozens filed against #BigOil since 2017—detail the extent to which the companies have long known that their fossil fuel extraction would drive planetary heating and the resulting #SeaLevelRise, #ExtremeWeather, #PublicHealth crises, and other impacts of the climate crisis, which now costs the U.S. roughly $150 billion per year just in damages from #hurricanes and other weather disasters.

    "'We are seeing the effects of the climate crisis on our people, our land, and our resources. The costs and consequences to us are overwhelming,' said Timothy Greene Sr., chairman of the Makah Tribal Council. 'We intend to hold these companies accountable for hiding the truth about climate change and the effects of burning fossil fuels.'"
