Oil
I’m an oil sector beneficiary – and so are you, like it or not. I like it not. We face a climate emergency. Carbon emissions need to drop massively, rapidly, yet they are rising. Oil and gas companies know that too. Their response? Between 2020 and 2024, they plan to invest $1.4 trillion in new exploration and extraction. Isn’t it time to get tough on Big Oil? New Zealand has banned new offshore oil exploration, Norway is divesting and the European Investment Bank has stopped funding the industry. Are your governments, banks, companies, or purchases still supporting a climate catastrophe?
