US Congress passes funding bill to avoid government shutdown

If the top 25 oil and gas companies had been held accountable for their role in global warming in recent decades, they would still have made $10 trillion dollars in profit, according to the report published by think tank Climate Analytics.
The estimated damage caused by carbon emissions from the 25 companies cost $20 trillion from 1985 to 2018 — but during that time they earned $30 trillion, the report said.
The research looked at private oil and gas giants as well as state-owned companies. State-owned firms contribute to huge sovereign wealth funds in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, the host of this year’s COP28 talks.
