  • Senate panel approves Trump's picks to run energy, interior departments

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senate committees on Thursday approved President Donald Trump's choices to run energy and environmental policy - officials who, if backed by the full Senate, will seek to maximize fossil fuel output and scrap chunks of climate policy. The panel voted 18-2 to approve former North Dakota governor Doug Burgum to lead the U.S. Department of Interior and a new national council on energy, expected to boost production of oil and gas. The committee also voted 15-5 to approve Chris Wright, the Energy Department pick and the CEO of oilfield services company Liberty Energy.

  • COP30 in Brazil set to spotlight developing countries' climate finance needs

    As world leaders grapple with the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, Brazil, the host of this year’s COP30 global climate summit, sees an opportunity to amplify the voices of developing nations in what will be a fierce dispute over who will pay for the global transition to cleaner energy sources. During last year’s summit, in Azerbaijan, a bitter fight that pitted wealthy nations against lower-income countries ended with a pledge from wealthy countries to provide $300 billion a year to support developing nations by 2035. While the target is triple what the current target of $100 billion, it is only a fraction of the $1.3 trillion per year developing countries say are needed.

  • Trump's climate withdrawal creates rare discord with Big Oil

    U.S. oil and gas producers are thrilled that President Donald Trump wants to encourage domestic energy development but say his decision to withdraw the United States from international climate cooperation will not help their investment plans in the global transition to cleaner energy. The position reflects a rare note of discord between Trump and Big Oil, one of his most important constituencies and long considered the top villain behind climate change for pumping and selling the fossil fuels driving planetary warming. Removing the United States from the Paris climate deal for the second time was among a flurry of first-day moves by Trump aimed at pumping up already record high domestic energy production, sending a signal to the rest of the world the U.S. will no longer engage in multilateral efforts to combat climate change.
