Houston-based Chevron on Wednesday said the oil giant is planning to cut 15 to 20 percent of its global workforce by the end of 2026, according to news reports.

Supreme Court lets #Hawaii sue #OilCompanies over #ClimateChange effects
#SCOTUS won't answer 'recurring question of extraordinary importance' to #BigOil.
by Ashley Belanger – Jan 13, 2025
"On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to decide whether to block lawsuits that Honolulu filed to seek billions in damages from oil and gas companies over allegedly deceptive marketing campaigns that hid the effects of climate change.
"Now those lawsuits can proceed, surely frustrating the fossil fuel industry, which felt that SCOTUS should have weighed in on this key 'recurring question of extraordinary importance to the energy industry' raised in lawsuits seeking similarly high damages in several states, CBS News reported.
"Defendants #Sunoco and #Shell, along with 15 other energy companies, had asked the court to intervene and stop the Hawaii lawsuits from proceeding. They had hoped to move the cases out of Hawaii state courts by arguing that interstate pollution is governed by federal law and the Clean Air Act.
"The oil and gas companies continue to argue that greenhouse gas emissions 'flow from billions of daily choices, over more than a century, by governments, companies, and individuals about what types of fuels to use, and how to use them.' Because of this, the companies believe Honolulu was wrong to demand damages based on the "cumulative effect of worldwide emissions leading to global climate change."

#Maine Sues Major #OilCompanies Over ‘Ongoing Deception’ About #ClimateChange
The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island

"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.
"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.
"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

Exposed: The Oil and Gas Giants Profiting Most From #Israel's #GazaGenocide
"The complicity of international #corporations and governments in fueling Israel's #WarMachine represents the latest chapter in a long history of #FossilFuel companies enabling #genocide and mass atrocities," said one campaigner.

"On the fourth day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or #COP29, in Azerbaijan, green groups highlighted how fossil fuel companies 'enable and profit from Israel's genocide in Gaza,' continuing 'a long history of the industry's complicity in mass atrocities worldwide.'
"'The fossil fuel industry is culpable in death and destruction around the world, not only through the #ClimateCrisis they cause but through the violence they fuel,' #OilChangeInternational said in a statement Thursday.
"'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of #Palestinian lives.'
"The group—along with others including #FriendsOfTheEarthPalestine / #PENGON and #TippingPointUK — is seizing the opportunity presented by COP29 to draw attention to an aspect of the Gaza war often overlooked amid the staggering death and destruction wrought by Israel's 13-month onslaught, which a United Nations panel on Thursday said is consistent with the 'characteristics of genocide.'
"'Investor-owned and private #OilCompanies supply 66% of oil to Israel—more than a third of that from major oil companies like #Chevron, #Shell, and #BP — despite genocide warnings from the International Court of Justice [#ICC],' #OilChange said. 'BP is among the top corporate suppliers of oil to Israel. It operates and is the largest owner of the #BTC pipeline, which transports #AzeriOil that is ultimately sent to Israel.'
"The #BTCPipeline runs from #Baku — the #Azeri capital and COP29 host city on the Caspian Sea —t hrough #Azerbaijan, #Georgia, and #Turkey and, according to Oil Change, supplies Israel with 28% of its oil, belying Thursday's claim by Turkish President #RecepTayyipErdoğan that the country has severed all ties with Israel.
"An investigation published in September by #EnergyEmbargoForPalestine showed how oil transported via the BTC pipeline is refined into jet fuel for Israel Defense Forces [#IDF] warplanes.
Oil Change continued:
"BP has also been granted #GasExploration licenses in occupied Palestinian waters. By providing it with fuel, BP enables the Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza. Chevron operates and partially owns the two largest Israeli-claimed fossil #GasFields, #Tamar and #Leviathan, making it the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Mediterranean. In 2022, 70% of Israel's power was generated from fossil gas extracted by #Chevron. Through the millions of dollars it pays Israel for its gas extraction licenses, Chevron is also directly contributing to financing Israel's regime of #genocide, #apartheid, #SettlerColonialism, and #Occupation.
"'The complicity of international corporations and governments in fueling Israel's war machine represents the latest chapter in a long history of fossil fuel companies enabling genocide and mass atrocities,' #MohammedUsrof, a member of the #PalestinianYouth Climate Negotiation Team at COP29 who lost 21 relatives to Israel's onslaught, said in a statement Thursday. 'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of Palestinian lives.'
"Tipping Point U.K. organizer #SadieDeCost said that 'BP originated as a key enabler of the #BritishEmpire, and continues as one of the top 10 largest #CarbonEmitters in the world.'
"'It operates and is the largest owner of the BTC pipeline, which ships Azeri oil to fuel Israel's genocide in Gaza,' DeCost added. 'BP's historic colonial harms continue through its support of violent regimes. Its emissions are estimated to cause hundreds of billions of dollars of loss and damage. We must shut down BP to end this injustice, and demand climate reparations for impacted communities around the world.'"

#NemonteNenquimo, #Waorani, Protecting the #AmazonRainforest
By Water for Life, via #CensoredNews, Sept. 21, 2024
"Our friend Nemonte Nenquimo, a leader of the Waorani people of #Ecuador, telling stories from her memoir, 'We Will Be Jaguars.' The book, written with her husband Mitch Anderson, about the fight to protect the Amazon rainforest, is a must read. The conversation was masterfully guided by actor, author, teacher Peter Coyote.
"Nemonte and Mitch have more readings coming up in San Francisco and Corte Madera later this week. New York City is next week!"
From Meet Nemonte Nenquimo:
"Nemonte Nenquimo led an indigenous campaign and legal action that resulted in a court ruling protecting 500,000 acres of Amazonian rainforest and Waorani territory from oil extraction. Nenquimo’s leadership and the lawsuit set a legal precedent for indigenous rights in Ecuador, and other tribes are following in her footsteps to protect additional tracts of rainforest from oil extraction. Guardians of the Amazon Rainforest
Background from the publisher:
"Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest—one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s—Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.
"She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city.
"Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.
"Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in #ClimateChange activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against #BigOil, protecting over a half million acres of primary #rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear—honed by her experiences battling #loggers, #miners, #OilCompanies and #missionaries.
"In We Will Be Jaguars, she partners with her husband, Mitch Anderson, founder of #AmazonFrontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of #IndigenousPeoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh, and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself."

In House and Senate Democrats’ final report and hearing, investigators concluded that major #OilCompanies had not only misled the public on #ClimateChange for decades, but also were continuing to misinform them about the industry’s preferred "#ClimateSolutions”— particularly biofuels and #CarbonCapture.
@Andy_European all #cars , #gas , #oil @airliners , #Cruiseship etc should be ban, the advertising firms, #TV channels, #Cable #newsmedia #newspapers , #news organisations magazines should sued for Billions for accessory to murder and propaganda. the #oilcompanies #carcompanies etc should be put the trial and hung with all there proceeds of crime confiscated especially former management for #crimesagainsthumanity @murder , #genocideofallhumanity @CrimesAgainstTheEnvironment #CrimesAgainstAllSpecies on this planet. And anyone covering up #HumanityExtinction event aka #ClimantDevastation there are over a million oilwells that need to be capped immediately. We have no choice

#Vermont becomes 1st state to enact law requiring #OilCompanies pay for damage from #ClimateChange
By LISA RATHKE
Updated 3:00 PM EDT, May 31, 2024
"Last July’s flooding from torrential rains inundated Vermont’s capital city of #Montpelier, the nearby city #Barre, some southern Vermont communities and ripped through homes and washed away roads around the rural state. Some saw it as the state’s worst natural disaster since a 1927 flood that killed dozens of people and caused widespread destruction. It took months for businesses — from restaurants to shops — to rebuild, losing out on their summer and even fall seasons. Several have just recently reopened while scores of homeowners were left with flood-ravaged homes heading into the cold season."

"As you look through the oil industry’s own reactions to their knowledge about climate change, they were able to build better infrastructure to be resilient,” Merner said. “We would have a more resilient world, we would not be facing the realities of climate change that we’re seeing today if it wasn’t for the lies the industry propped up for so long.”
