As energy bills and the price of gas spike because of Trump’s war in Iran, Chris Wright is speaking to the executives profiteering from our economic pain.
Community leaders are marching to ensure the fossil fuel executives and government officials attending CERAWeek see the opposition to their plans to recklessly expand fossil fuels, which poison the air and water, worsen the climate crisis, devastate Gulf Coast fishing economies, and drive conflicts from Venezuela to Iran.
As geopolitical tensions rise, Trump’s fossil fuel billionaire donors reap windfall profits while people are being killed and working people around the world face higher energy and food costs.
Trump once again used illegal force to bolster his imperialist fossil fuel agenda. His attack on Iran threatens lives, adds to regional instability, and risks dragging the United States into another forever war.
Africans cannot be excluded at the border while its resources are fast-tracked into foreign economies.
TotalEnergies claims to be the biggest supplier of LNG to Europe, and the biggest LNG exporter from the United States. The company continues to import gas from Russia. TotalEnergies is under fire for contributing to Europe’s reliance on hostile countries.
There can be no ‘business as usual’ while ICE occupies neighborhoods, while our neighbors are kidnapped, while constitutional rights are trampled, while people are dragged into the snow at gunpoint. We are in solidarity with people from Minneapolis, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Maine and others across the country resisting this occupation.
The EU must courageously oppose Trump's fossil fuel agenda and defend people, our planet, and the rule of law.
Trump can withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, but can’t change that millions of people will fight for climate justice, including leaders from the Global South and U.S. states and localities.
Trump's meeting with oil executives is meant to ensure the future of Venezuela is being shaped in a way that maximizes Big Oil profits and his own power.
