Oil companies' Q3 profits went up by 140% compared to last year. Why? Because they are profiting off Trump's war on Iran. https://www.commondreams.org/news/big-oil-profits-2026 #oil #gas #war #climate #Iran #profiteering

As Big Oil Reports Billions in Q3 Profits, Climate Groups Say Tax Them to 'Protect Communities' | Common Dreams

Tax Big Oil's soaring profits, and use that revenue to "protect communities from price shocks and extreme weather, and accelerate a just transition away from fossil fuels," a Greenpeace campaigner said as companies continued to share Q3 updates.

How a Secret Vote by U.N. Scientists Legitimized Carbon Capture and Skewed Decades of Climate Policy --- A U.N. report concluded carbon capture could offset fossil fuels’ effect on climate change.

#EpicFail - Yesterday Trump encouraged tankers to run the Iranian blockade. This morning we were greeted by videos shot by the first tanker crew to take Trump's advice... showing the crew clinging to life rafts watching the smoking wreck of their ship. Three ships have been struck by Iran in the past 36ish hours. Iran says they're doing IR monitoring of engine heat for signs if any movement without their permission. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #Shipping #Oil #KhameneiAssassination #US #trump

This morning oil market analysts are saying that Iran has shipped+sold more oil per day after they were attacked by the US+Israel than they did prior to being attacked. Also seen reports that the first non-Iranian flagged vessel, a Chinese oil tanker heading for Pakistan, was let through the blockade. 📸 60 Minutes https://www.cbsnews.com/video/60minutes-2026-03-15/ #Iran #oil #economics #60mins #USPol

After years of speculation & complaint, the Treasury has put a figure on the loss represents by the UK's failure to establish the sort of oil-revenue fed sovereign wealth fund the Norwegians have built. The estimate is that that fund would likely be worth around a £1 trillion, but instead the funds from peak earning in the North Sea were deployed by Margaret Thatcher to fund tax cuts.... One more reason to see Margaret Thatcher as a wrecker of the UK! #Oil #politics

Why is #oil still at🚨$110/bbl? Despite the fact:⚡sig amt of oil IS flowing thru the SoH again,🚨the COST of shipping this oil is permanently raising the flr price for oil. Acc to R Johnston... an ~ est of the additional risk prem for shipping oil out of the SoH:🚨~30/bbl. Prior to the #IranWar➡️Brent : ~$70/bbl. TOTALLY🚨unsustainable -too expensive... & if it DID become a viable solution somehow for the US & global #economy? IR will... It’s an existential war. #ETTD #USPol

“The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote – and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation. “They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people,” Mr. Sylvestre said. “We prayed before we started the meeting.”” Behind the cross-border effort to sway Alberta’s secession vote: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/f3d6096fceb1ffaea4f7c251d5656078f7a4e8a4d6ae6b777aa0c542a4568ade/WNKMWCY55VAD5J6YR2QDXFDVYY/#GiftLink #Canada #USA #Trump #Republicans #ForeignInterference #NationalSecurity #Tariffs #TradeWar #Alberta #NaturalResources #Oil #ElbowsUp

Cratering #oil use in #China shows the death spiral that could end oil New numbers released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China tell the tale: in Q2, oil use dropped by a whopping 9%, and an even more incredible 16% for transportation. Combined, drop in oil use was enough to pull Chinese #CO2 #emissions down by 1%. A large portion is due to boom in #electricvehicles and collapse in ICE vehicle sales, meaning transportation is simply getting more efficient.

Cratering oil use in China shows the death spiral that could end oil

Oil use and CO2 emissions dropped in Q2 in China due to EV growth. It could mean China's per-capita CO2 peaks at less than half of the US.
