Guterres,US,Canada

The UN chief's impassioned speech condemning the oil industry was not the only one this week.

'The Godfathers of climate chaos -- the fossil fuel industry -- rake in record profits and feast off trillions in taxpayer-funded subsidies,' the secretary-general of the United Nations said this week in a speech on the occasion of World Environment Day.

Yet for the Jerrold Nadler-led group of Representatives, the oil and gas is as special a case as it is for Antonio Guterres and the other attendants at the World Environment Day celebration. No other industry has been subjected to such pressure from legislative and international circles with the singular aim of squeezing it as much as possible to force it to essentially stop doing what it does.
