Shell made nearly $7 billion in profit in the first three months of 2026—double the previous period. BP's Q1 profits also doubled to $3.2 billion. While millions feel economic pain from the disruption of the Iran War, oil and gas companies are making massive sums of money.

"The push towards renewables is unstoppable because it’s in a country’s self-interest. The war in Iran has made that clear... You don’t have to have an altruistic motive to want to get out of fossil fuels." - climate change researcher @andyreisinger.bsky.social ✍️ @nicolakimjones.bsky.social:

The world has veered way off-target of its climate goals. Can we rebound?

Once global warming peaks, it could take centuries to cool things back down. But we can bend the curve by cutting fossil fuel emissions now.
