Exxon Tells Investors Not to Worry About Climate Change, But Should They?

Exxon released a climate impact analysis that says global policies to combat climate change pose "little risk" to its investments. But the attitude of investors toward climate risk is rapidly changing as fossil fuels lose their monopoly over energy generation, says Carbon Tracker CEO Anthony Hobley

Has Exxon Mobil misled the public about its climate change research?

Published on Nov 10, 2015
Oil giant Exxon Mobil was recently subpoenaed by New York’s attorney general in an investigation of whether the company has intentionally downplayed the risks of climate change. Judy Woodruff hears from Eric Schneiderman, attorney general of New York, and Kenneth Cohen, vice president of Public & Government Affairs for the Exxon Mobil Corporation.

A draft federal budget seen by The Washington Post suggests it may again ask Congress to slash the Energy Department’s renewable energy and energy efficiency programs budget by 72 percent.

Solar jobs tumble under Trump

The number of U.S. solar jobs dropped in 2017 for the first time this decade, falling 3.8 percent after a record jump in 2016, the Solar Foundation reports.

The most mature markets — California and Massachusetts — saw the biggest pullback following a year of strong growth. The threat of solar tariffs also sent a wave of uncertainty through the industry: 86 percent of solar companies indicated that trade restrictions would hurt their business, and nearly three-quarters said they saw negative effects from the trade case even before President Trump announced his decision.

Oil Investors Call for Human Rights Risk Report After Standing Rock

Marathon shareholders want the oil company to explain how it weighs environmental and social risks after the treatment of Dakota Access pipeline protesters.

The clash between the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and backers of the Dakota Access pipeline unfolded in news clips of violence, intolerance and humiliation. Demonstrators against the pipeline were met with snarling guard dogs, armed security officers and fire hoses that drenched them during freezing weather.

For a block of shareholders in Marathon Petroleum Corp., an Ohio-based company that bought a minority interest in the Dakota Access pipeline just as tensions hit a flashpoint in 2016, it was an unsettling scene that played out on social media and network news.

Massive 'Invisible' Oil Spill Contaminates Asian Seas
They’re in uncharted waters. Experts say that when an Iranian tanker collided with a cargo ship on Jan. 6, 122,000 tons of noxious condensate were released into some of China and Japan’s most important fishing areas. Unlike crude oil, condensate is nearly invisible and can’t be pumped out of the water, instead needing to dissolve or evaporate. Until then, fish from those waters may be toxic. It’s a major test of Beijing’s ability to respond to a huge environmental disaster, and authorities have ordered a fishing ban and further investigation.

Australia's Solar Power Boom Could Almost Double Capacity in a Year, Analysts Say

Australia had a record-breaking month of rooftop installations in January, mostly driven by low costs and a boost in commercial uptake. Industry analysts say the rooftop solar boom and large-scale solar projects could nearly double its solar power capacity in a year.

Such little hope for anything living thing that can't live in a world flattened by humans and here humans have been unable to kill them all.

Around half of all orangutans living on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo — nearly 150,000 in all — vanished during a recent 16-year period. The causes included logging, land clearance for agriculture and mining that destroyed their habitats, according to a study in Current Biology released on Thursday.

However, many orangutans also disappeared from more intact, forested areas, the researchers say, suggesting that hunting and other direct conflicts between orangutans and humans remain a major threat to the species.

“The decline in population density was most severe in areas that were deforested or transformed for industrial agriculture, as orangutans struggle to live outside forest areas,” said a lead researcher for the study, Maria Voigt of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany.

Energy storage is crucial as more wind and solar power comes online, and federal regulators just approved a new rule to help it grow.

U.S. renewable energy generation still grows

Clean energy installations may have lagged in 2017 compared to 2016, but renewables (including hydropower) reached a record 18 percent of U.S. power generation last year, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s latest data. Fossil fuels are still the top electricity producers, but their share of U.S. power generation has fallen.

The secret on the ocean floor
By David Shukman

In the 1970s, the Central Intelligence Agency launched a plan to snatch a sunken Soviet submarine. Its smokescreen was a plan to mine the ocean floor, with backing from billionaire Howard Hughes. It did such a good job convincing people the mining was possible, it may have helped convince today’s companies to head back to the deep
