But with oil exports that are growing faster than anywhere else in the world, Guyana is benefitting tremendously from chaos in the Strait of Hormuz. Since starting production in recently discovered offshore oil fields in 2019, its economy has quintupled, the fastest growth globally.

'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."
Brett Wilkins
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."

The best thing Gates could invest in is saving/restoring US democracy.
The sitting administration, like the other world autocracies, is a petrostate with no interest in addressing Climate Change. In fact, it wants to undo progress to date and deny/hide Climate Science.
We The People will hopefully vote otherwise, but the machinery of voting by the time that happens will be compromised, and that's unlikely to fix the problem. At this point, the only votes that count are those of billionaires.
If the greedy billionaires line up behind profit at the expense of all else, and the less greedy billionaires fritter away their funds on issues that are individually important but that collectively sap any hope of a long-term future for humanity, we're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Even if we cured cancer and solved myriad other societal ills, if the Climate Crisis isn't solved, society will melt down anyway and humans may well go extinct, so what was the point?
Also, unless he puts unexpected safeguards on things, I'll bet quite a bit of this goes to using or investing in AI, which at this point means a hugely more energy-intensive and fresh-water-consuming world at a time when we can least afford it. In effect, it's an investment in hastening the Climate problem.
I'm sure he'll put some of it into specific Climate efforts, but the thing is this: While it's useful to do some amount of research on climate, we know what we really have to do and are not doing it. A sustainable future means ramping down energy use and consumption-based economics.
The problem with research isn't that it might not produce some wonderful discovery, but that we don't know that it will, and we don't know the timeline. As such, we need to start in earnest doing things we DO know how to do and that we DO know the timeline for. He is not promising to do that.
I see no serious leadership on Climate here, just a giant hunk of monetary inertia on a path that is sinking humanity. I'd love it if someone could convince me otherwise, but I'm not optimistic. I certainly don't think it's the sort of thing where just "trusting the process" is enough.

Rueben George "We Are People of the Water" Voices from the Salish Sea
Faced with the economic smallpox of oil pipelines, Rueben George says hold tight to your spiritual intention
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, November 20, 2024
SEATTLE -- "They never stopped fighting. Even when they cut off his grandfather's finger as a child in residential school because he couldn't speak English, even when they put them in jail for protesting the Trans Mountain pipeline, they never stopped fighting. Even when the appeals court decided that shipping the dirty tarsand oil was more important than the survival of the Orca whales, they did not surrender.
"'Even though we're almost extinct, we are still here," said Rueben George, səlilwətaɬ, Tsleil Waututh Nation.
'We're People of the Water. That's our First Mother,' George said at the Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle.Read more:

WTF Premier Smith?
Dear neighbours in the beautiful province of Alberta, your leadership is failing you. You could be well on the way to being a renewable energy rockstar. Your Premier, however, is committing you to petro state decline.
A friend in BC.
“The Alberta government is withholding the results of another public survey, this one on the answers to its engagement on renewable energy development on agricultural land.”

Coast #Salish Water Warriors: Voices for the Water at the #SalishSea Assembly in #Seattle
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews at #Indybay, Nov. 8, 2024
"The defenders are battling the dirty energy #corporations poisoning the land, water and air in western #Canada and #WashingtonState, and the waters of the Salish Sea. The rivers from British Columbia in Canada and Washington State come together in the Salish Sea on their journey to the #PacificOcean.
"The dead birds floating in the Alberta tar sands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased oil tankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil business of the Trans Mountain pipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands in Canada, bound for #OilTankers in the Salish Sea.
"The destruction, and theft of land, is a continuation of the #genocidal residential school system. Native children were kidnapped, ripped from their families, and incarcerated in the abusive schools operated by Canada and the churches.
"'We can't drink water from there any more,' said Jean, who lives close to the Alberta tar sands in her homeland. 'I was born into this destruction.
"'Thousands of birds are dead in the tailing ponds.'"

'Dying of thirst' as climate-driven floods mix with oil
Maura Ajak & Stephanie Stafford
"Herders scooping murky water from a small pond in grasslands in South Sudan are well aware of the dangers they face if they drink it.
"'The water is dirty because this place has oil - it has chemicals in it,' says their chief, Chilhok Puot.
"Nyatabah, a woman from this community raising cows in the heart of oil fields in Unity State, adds: 'If you drink it, it makes you pant and cough.
"'We know it's bad water, but we don't have anywhere else, we're dying of thirst.'
"A former oil engineer, David Bojo Leju, has told the BBC World service that flooding in the area is washing #pollution into water sources.
"Large swathes of the state have been under water for several years after unprecedented #flooding, which scientists say has been worsened by #ClimateChange.
"Mr Bojo Leju says the floods are a 'disaster' and that pollution from mismanaged oil facilities is a 'silent killer' spreading across the state.
"South Sudan is the world’s youngest country and one of its poorest, with a government hugely dependent on oil revenue.
"Unity State, a major oil-producing state, has always experienced seasonal flooding. But in 2019, #ExtremeRains brought a deluge that engulfed #villages, #grasslands and #forests. Year after year of intense rainfall followed. The water built up, trapped on the clay soil.
"At the worst point in 2022, two-thirds of Unity State were submerged, according to the UN World Food Programme (#WFP) - even now, it says about 40% is still under water."

A ‘Cop of peace’? How can #authoritarian, #HumanRights-trashing #Azerbaijan possibly host that?
"The #ClimateCrisis is just as much about protecting human rights as it is about protecting the #Climate and #biodiversity. You cannot claim to care about #ClimateJustice if you ignore the sufferings of oppressed and #colonised people today. We cannot pick and choose whose human rights to care for, and who to leave behind. Climate justice means justice, safety and freedom for everyone."
by #GretaThunberg, November 11, 2024
"Cop meetings have proven to be #greenwashing conferences that legitimise countries’ failures to ensure a livable world and future and have also allowed authoritarian regimes like #Azerbaijan and the two previous hosts – the #UnitedArabEmirates and #Egypt – to continue violating human rights.
"#Genocides, #ecocides, #famines, #wars, #colonialism, rising inequalities and an escalating #ClimateCollapse are all interconnected crises that reinforce each other and lead to unimaginable suffering. While #humanitarian crises are unfolding in #Palestine, #Yemen, #Afghanistan, #Sudan, #Congo, #Kurdistan, #Lebanon, #Balochistan, #Ukraine, #NagornoKarabakh / #Artsakh, and many, many other places, humanity is also breaching the 1.5C #GreenhouseGas emissions limit, with no signs of real reductions in sight.
"Instead, the opposite is taking place – last year, global emissions reached an all-time high. #Heat records have been shattered, and this year is 'virtually certain' to be the hottest year ever recorded, with unprecedented #ExtremeWeather events pushing the planet further into uncharted territory. The destabilisation of the biosphere and the natural #ecosystems we depend on to survive is leading to untold human suffering and further accelerating the #MassExtinction of flora and fauna."

A ‘Cop of peace’? How can #authoritarian, #HumanRights-trashing #Azerbaijan possibly host that?
"The #ClimateCrisis is just as much about protecting human rights as it is about protecting the #Climate and #biodiversity. You cannot claim to care about #ClimateJustice if you ignore the sufferings of oppressed and #colonised people today. We cannot pick and choose whose human rights to care for, and who to leave behind. Climate justice means justice, safety and freedom for everyone."

Hmmm… Not so great being a one-trick-pony petro state is it Dani? Maybe shoulda kept up with the NDP’s renewables program you put the kibosh on?

US Leads Global Surge in Oil and Gas Expansion, Analysis Finds
"#FossilFuel corporations, and the governments that support them, will never stop unless forced to. Neither has any interest in the future of the climate, our world, or their own kids." - Bill McGuire
by Edward Carver
Jul 24, 2024"Five wealthy countries including the #UnitedStates have led a global surge in oil and gas development in 2024, threatening international #ClimateGoals, according to an analysis published by The Guardian on Wednesday.
"The U.S., #UnitedKingdom, #Canada, #Australia, and #Norway together are projected by the end of 2024 to have issued licenses for fossil fuel projects that will emit 11.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetimes—far more than in any of the previous five years, and roughly equal to a full year of emissions from #China, the world's highest emitter—according to industry data analyzed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (#IISD) and shared with the newspaper.
"The five states are responsible for more than two-thirds of all oil and gas licenses issued globally since 2020, with the U.S. alone accounting for half of the world total. President Joe Biden's administration increased oil and gas licensing by 20% over Trump-era levels, and issued a record 758 new extraction licenses in 2023, according to the analysis.
"'The U.S. has become a petrostate and is still, even under President #Biden, permitting new drilling,' John Sterman, a climate policy expert and professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's business school, told The Guardian. 'The developed countries don't show any significant efforts to limit drilling.'
"Sterman pointed to a 'fundamental contradiction' between rich countries' international commitments and their ongoing fossil fuel expansion. 'We can't keep going on like this,' he said.
"The industry's grip on U.S. politicians has made significant policy change in Washington difficult. In the past decade, fossil fuel companies have spent $1.25 billion on federal #lobbying and more than $650 million on campaign contributions, according to #OpenSecrets data.
"The Conservative-led U.K. government issued a surge of #NorthSea licenses in the first half of this year, but lost power to the Labour Party following a general election earlier this month. It's not yet clear if Labour will be able or willing to rescind licenses already issued. Currently the U.K. is set to finish 2024 with 72 licenses for projects that would create 101 million metric tons of #GreenhouseGas emissions over their lifetimes—a 50-year high, according to the IISD analysis. Norway and Australia are also seeing major upticks this year.
"Capital expenditure at the world's largest oil companies is up 60% since 2020, with $302 billion projected to be spent on well development this year, The Guardian reported. The fossil fuel expansion continues even though the reserves in rich countries are generally hard to reach, as more accessible reserves have already been tapped.
"The expansion also comes in spite of disturbing climate news—2023 was hottest year on record, June was the 13th consecutive hottest month, and Monday was the hottest day, having broken a record set the previous day—and dire warnings from leading international institutions. No new fossil fuel projects can proceed if the world is to meet the 1.5° Paris agreement target, the International Energy Agency declared in 2021."
