Reader Q&A: ask our reporters anything about fossil fuel profits and the climate crisis – live

What if the profits of the world’s largest oil companies were not just numbers on a balance sheet, but a stark reminder of the price we pay for fossil fuel reliance?

Last week, an eye-opening report revealed that major oil firms raked in a staggering $93 billion in profits within just three months. This windfall comes against the backdrop of not only the ongoing conflict in Iran but also the escalating climate crisis—issues that many of us are grappling with daily.

So, why should this matter to you? As climate change continues to impact weather patterns, food security, and even our health, these profits highlight a growing disparity between corporate gains and the urgent need for sustainable solutions.

Jillian Ambrose and Damian Carrington, the reporters behind this revealing piece, will be available for a live Q&A session at 2pm BST. They invite you to delve deeper into the implications of these profits and discuss any questions you might have about the intersection of energy, economy, and environmental responsibility.

Curiosity piqued? You might wonder how these profits are justified amid climate pledges and calls for greener alternatives. This session could shed light on these pressing questions and more.

Engagement from the public is crucial in this dialogue. By understanding the dynamics at play, we can advocate for more responsible practices from these influential companies and push for changes that align with our climate goals.
