Oil, gas firms use Ukraine war to resist climate efforts: report
US oil and gas firms took advantage of energy worries over the Ukraine war to push their fossil fuel products and resist climate change regulatory measures, an analysis showed on Wednesday.
The London-based think tank InfluenceMap analysed advertisements and declarations by the companies in the weeks before and after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
It said the companies spread the misleading message that US climate change policies were to blame for rising energy prices and that more US-produced oil and gas was the solution.
