Breaking up with oil and gas was always going to be difficult for the owner of the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund—valued at $1.4 trillion. North Sea oil and gas, which accounts for 14% of Norway’s GDP, 40% of exports, and employs 7% of its workforce, has made the country one of the richest in the world, by GDP per capita.

You are with friends in a forest at night. It is winter & snow covers the ground.

Wolves growl just beyond the faint light of your candles.

You are cold, hungry, & afraid.

You discover a wooden summer house in a glade. It is open & well-stocked.

Safety.

Then one of your friends runs inside, locks the door, & eats all the food.

Another sets fire to the house & dances joyfully in the warmth.

Sparks fly & ignite the trees.

You are hot, hungry, & afraid.

Major media companies The New Statesman and Politico have sparked a wave of criticism after allowing Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor, which is behind the UK’s largest new North Sea project, to sponsor events on climate change.

Both saw MPs pull out over the sponsorship, while the first was interrupted by a climate activist.

As tensions rise throughout the #SouthChinaSea, energy demands are drawing #Malaysia deeper into the fray and testing the country’s long-standing reluctance to antagonize #China.

Since 2020, China has been harassing Malaysian drilling rigs and survey vessels, leading to standoffs that have lasted months.

Malaysia’s appetite for #oil and #gas puts it on collision course with China
