🚨Eight oil firms make $29 billion profit in quarterly results. Includes lengthy quotes from fossil fuel CEOs talking excitedly about a "continued ramp-up of projects" and new oilfield discoveries. It's drill, baby, drill across the board.

At the heart of the Amazon, Brazil's oil frontier faces a clash between environmentalists and oil companies.

As climate change fuels record droughts, should fossil fuel drilling continue?

Big day in Canadian politics.

Justin Trudeau's resignation after nine years in power could hardly come at a more significant moment before Trump's inauguration.
