Daily Times: Climate Change Minister Mushahidullah Khan has hailed the leading Group of 7 (G7) industrial nations for announcing to phase out the use of fossil fuels by decarbonising the global economy in the course of this century. Such move, if actualised, would help control emission of climate altering green house gases (GHGs), which have caused global warming. Eventually, this would lead to stabilising climate change and reduction in occurrence of the climate change-induced natural disasters, the minister...

Guardian: Bosses at the worlds big five oil companies have been showered with bonus payouts linked to a $1tn (650bn) crescendo of spending on fossil fuel exploration and extraction over nine years, according to Guardian analysis of company reports. The unprecedented push to bring untapped reserves into production, and to exploit new and undiscovered fields, involves some of the most complex feats of engineering ever attempted. It also reflects how confident ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, Total and BP are...
