When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

Fact o day: Since the start of 2025, Germany has been running a trade deficit in capital goods with China over a rolling 12-month period. That is a first since records began in 2008.

Can anything halt the decline of German industry?

"Today, wage growth for low-income workers is significantly lower than wage growth for middle- and high-income workers."

Kharkiv is plunged into darkness, the hum of generators filling the air. Parts of the city are also without water or heat.

Last night, russia launched multiple strikes on the city’s energy infrastructure, causing critical damage.
