'Planet Wreckers': 4 Rich Nations Plotting Nearly 70% of New Oil and Gas Over Next Decade | Common Dreams
This is not just hypocrisy," said one climate campaigner. "It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis."

Jun 16, 2025"Four wealthy nations—the #UnitedStates, #Canada, #Norway, and #Australia—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by #OilChangeInternational on Monday, the first day of the #BonnClimateChangeConference in Germany.
"Oil Change's analysis, titled #PlanetWreckers, notes that if those four #GlobalNorth nations stopped their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere, where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.
" 'A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis,' Oil Change International global policy lead Romain Ioualalen said in a statement Monday.
"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added."

So, who sponsored the "separate study" that implicated El Nino? One of the studies was conducted by #ImperialCollegeLondon, who have received #FossillFuel funding! Always question who is paying for "studies"! (So, who is funding the South African studies?)
#ClimateChange: Deadly African #heatwave 'impossible' without warming
By Matt McGrath
April 17, 2024"A deadly heatwave in #WestAfrica and the #Sahel was 'impossible' without human-induced climate change, scientists say.
"Temperatures soared above 48C in #Mali last month with one hospital linking hundreds of deaths to the #ExtremeHeat.
"Researchers say human activities like burning fossil fuels made temperatures up to 1.4C hotter than normal.
"A separate study on drought in Southern Africa said #ElNiño was to blame, rather than climate change.
[...]
""Over the past year, attribution studies have shown that many extreme weather events have been driven by a combination of both climate change and El Niño, said Joyce Kimutai, a researcher at Imperial College London.
"The southern Africa drought appears to be a rarer example of an event fuelled primarily by El Niño."
