Three young climate change activists in Hyde Park.
Never has the issue of climate change been more urgent. The most recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, published on 4 April 2022, stated that drastic action was needed immediately in order to prevent a climate catastrophe that would mean millions becoming refugees and millions more suffering from malnutrition and famine.
This would require an immediate halt to any investment in or expansion of fossil fuel production. However, despite the stark warning, the UK government is determined to continue investment in North Sea oil and gas, seemingly dedicated to accelerating climate change..
Professor Jim Skea, co-chair of the working group at the IPCC responsible for determining the best measures for mitigating climate change, declared "It's now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.'
Realising that years of petitioning and protests had failed to persuade the British government of the need for immediate and profound measures to reduce emissions, Extinction Rebellion decided to launch a week of direct action across Britain. In London, this started on the weekend of 9 and 10 April, with climate change activists marching through central London, for two days of protests which included sit down blockades of Vauxhall and Lambeth bridges. On Lambeth Bridge a group of doctors and nurses refused to leave and were arrested by the police.

Construction of the Bayway Refinery was begun by Standard Oil in 1907. It's now owned by Phillips. Chris Christie settled with Exxon for pennies on the dollar for environmental contamination here and at a second refinery in the state.
I remember the bad old days in the '60s and '70s, when it reeked for miles. Nowadays you barely get a whiff as you drive past it on the Turnpike. The white steam plume is the wet scrubber that is partially responsible for the improvement.
The cogen plant (center foreground) was begun in 1992. It generates electricity from refinery byproducts and ships its waste heat to nearby cities in the form of steam for heating buildings, extracting more bang for the buck out of the fuel it burns. The plant also gets all of its water from a local sewage treatment plant, so it does not have to draw fresh water from the environment.
With any luck, somebody will come along in a few decades and say "I remember the bad old days in the teens when they still had oil refineries here."
This was taken in California - on the road towards Paso Robles. California has some pretty large oil fields, although probably not as expansive as those in West Texas. It is most likely the Lost Hills Oil Field, the 18th largest oil field in California. It is estimated that there are 110 million barrels left. The largest operator is Chevron.
"Rise Early, Work Hard, Strike Oil" - J Paul Getty
With the unrest in Ukraine, the price of oil has been fluctuating. However, last Wednesday, it fell to near $100 a barrel as a report showed an increase in U.S. crude stockpiles and investors pretty much ignored the new sanctions on Putin's inner circle.
A rise in supplies suggested demand is not as strong as expected. The American Petroleum Institute said that U.S. stockpiles of crude oil expanded by 3 million barrels last week. If the API figures are confirmed by the Energy Department, U.S. crude oil stocks climbing above the 400 million barrel threshold for the first time.
Some of this can be attributed to the fracking boom in the US. Since 2008, "tight-oil" (oil reserves we have known about for decades, but have not been able to extract economically) production in America has soared from 600,000 to 3.5m barrels per day.

I have really neglected my artwork for the past few months and I have finally come to the realization of what seeking new eyes and not new landscapes truly means. I'm hoping that this will be a major turnaround in my life that will allow me to attend more focus to my ideas and I hope that it will spark a deeper meaning in my photos as well.
The latest project I have undertaken is a theme set up by the Definitely Superior Art Gallery (DefSup), called Dislocation.
In the past few days of thinking about this, I have had many thoughts regarding this subject buzzing around in my mind. Some of my thoughts have been regarding corporate greed, the loss of the human identity, as well as the loss of our own self identity. In our society, we are told how to work, learn, live, what to eat, and how to dress, and when it is okay to "retire"; but why? These thoughts, combined with my thoughts of the natural world around me made me feel completely dislocated. We now see animals as an unnatural intrusion into our environment, and we ourselves forget how ignorant we are towards nature because we have grown up in a world made up of completely unnatural things.
I am left to wonder: " true happiness... where does it lie...
In becoming more connected with the natural world around us?
Sometimes you just need to trust your instinct.
I'm thinking this may be one of my submissions.
