The post argued that it is a myth that China is responsible for rapidly rising carbon dioxide emissions, and it has been shared hundreds of times. The following graphic attached to the post, from Our World in Data, showed annual carbon dioxide emissions by world region. It also showed something that undercut the claim: China’s emissions have surged this century and now represent the largest single-country contribution to annual…

Arctic Express, a newly flagged Russian LNG tanker, has picked up a cargo of liquefied natural gas from a floating storage facility used by ‌Arctic LNG 2 project, marking the latest addition to Russia’s dark fleet as LNG output from the U.S.-santioned project ramps up, Reuters reported on Monday.

China widened its trade dragnet on Japan Monday, adding 20 more entities, including units of Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Komatsu, to its export control blacklist. The timing undercuts Beijing's argument that Tokyo has nowhere else to turn. Three days earlier, Canada wrapped up its largest-ever trade mission to Japan with a pointed pitch: build the next critical minerals supply chain with Ottawa instead. International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu, who led roughly 300 delegates from nearly 175 Canadian companies and organizations…

Global oil prices have collapsed back to pre-war levels, trading down near $70 per barrel, with a potential peace deal between the U.S. and Iran helping calm global markets and prompting the removal of massive war risk premiums from energy valuations.

At around the same time as OPEC raised its long-term oil demand forecast for the third consecutive year — now expecting global consumption to rise 19 million barrels per day (bpd), or 18%, by 2050 — Libya’s state-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced that the country’s oil production is now at the highest level in 13 years. Its current 1.487 million bpd crude output is just a whisker away from the NOC’s short-term strategy of producing 1.5 million bpd of oil, which opens the way for the long-term strategic…

Philippines to the highest in the world since the Iran war began, according to customs data cited by Reuters. Amid soaring electricity prices and a supply crunch in fossil fuels, many Filipinos have opted to install rooftop solar panels over the past three months.
