Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth awarded the soldier who reprimanded him and members of his staff at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier a Joint Service Commendation Medal on Thursday.

“We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist,” Hegseth said in a post on social media. “Carry on Patriots.”

A Pentagon official confirmed that Hegseth welcomed the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as The Old Guard, to the Pentagon “where he proudly awarded Specialist Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal for the execution of his duties at the Tomb of the unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026.”

CNN first reported the incident.

Hegseth, his wife, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh were taking photos in front of the tomb after a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery when some in the group were heard laughing and chatting after the photos were taken. The soldier patrolling in front of the tomb, Spc. Iglesias, stopped walking and faced the group.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” Iglesias called out.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell later said of the incident that the soldier “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the US’ most sacred war memorials, and politicians, foreign dignitaries, and other notable individuals frequently visit to pay their respects to US service members. It’s expected, and not unprecedented, for the sentinel guarding the tomb — a 24/7 job delegated to soldiers with The Old Guard since 1948 — to maintain an atmosphere of respect around the tomb by correcting visitors who get too loud.

Plaskett Wins Historic Governor’s Race as Voters Oust Incumbents, Lift Newcomers

Plaskett Wins Historic Governor’s Race as Voters Oust Incumbents, Lift Newcomers

Virgin Islanders elected their first female governor Tuesday, delivering a decisive victory to Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett and her running mate, Senate President Milton Potter, while reshaping the Legislature in an election that saw several incumbents defeated and candidates associated with the emerging political movement TheFuture make significant gains.

Plaskett, a Democrat, received 11,865 votes, according to unofficial territorial results released by the Elections System of the Virgin Islands at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Her closest challenger, former Sen. Adlah “Foncie” Donastorg, finished with 2,507 votes, followed by Oakland Benta with 2,273, Warren Mosler with 1,293 and Gustav James with 637.

The victory marks a historic transition for the territory, with Plaskett set to become the first woman to serve as governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Her election also comes on a historic night nationally, with former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms winning Georgia’s gubernatorial race to become the first Black woman elected governor of a U.S. state.

Although Plaskett is not the nation’s first Black governor, a distinction dating to P.B.S. Pinchback’s brief tenure as Louisiana governor in 1872, her election breaks a barrier in the Virgin Islands, where no woman has previously held the territory’s highest office.

Tuesday’s results also point to a significant change in the territory’s political landscape. Voters returned several established lawmakers to office but rejected others, while candidates associated with TheFuture secured four seats in the incoming Legislature, including the territorywide senator-at-large position.

The election drew 20,047 ballots territorywide, including 12,242 cast during early voting and 7,805 on Election Day. Early voters accounted for 61.1 percent of the total, underscoring the growing importance of ballots cast before the traditional Election Day.

The early-voting total also surpassed participation in the 2022 and 2024 general elections, when 11,849 and 6,832 voters, respectively, cast ballots before Election Day.

Jesuit College Alumni Comprise Ten Percent of 119th U.S. Congress

Jesuit College Alumni Comprise Ten Percent of 119th U.S. Congress

For the fifth consecutive session, Jesuit college alumni comprise ten percent of Congress. Of the 535 seats (and six non-voting delegate positions) in the 119th United States Congress, 56 are filled by graduates of Jesuit colleges and universities: 12 in the Senate and 44 in the House of Representatives.

Jesuit-educated members are well-represented in leadership positions in both the Senate and the House. In the Senate, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY, Georgetown) serves as Majority Whip; Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL, Georgetown) serves as Democratic Whip; and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV, Gonzaga) serves as Vice Chair of the Senate Democratic Outreach Committee. In the House, Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY, Georgetown) serves as Democratic Leader; Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA, Georgetown) serves as Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus; Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI, Georgetown) serves as Chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC); and Representative Lori Trahan (D-MA, Georgetown) serves as Co-Chair of the DPCC.

Fifteen of the nation’s Jesuit colleges and universities have alumni who serve in the 119th U.S. Congress. Georgetown University has the most with a total of 26, followed by Boston College and Fordham University, each with six alumni (note: Representative Rosa DeLauro is an alumna of Marymount College, which was later incorporated by Fordham University). The College of the Holy Cross, Loyola Marymount University, Marquette University, Saint Louis University, Santa Clara University, University of Detroit Mercy and University of San Francisco all have two alumni represented. Creighton University, Gonzaga University, Loyola University Chicago, Regis University and The University of Scranton each have one alum.

In addition to the 56 alumni of Jesuit colleges and universities, graduates of Jesuit high schools are also serving in the 119th U.S. Congress.

Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU), said, “We are proud of the achievements of our alumni, but even more so of their commitment to public service. A Jesuit education is dedicated to serving the common good. We look forward to working with these alumni as they work across the aisle to address our nation’s challenges.”

Answering the Pope's Call to Action

Seattle University Magazine

Friday, March 28, 2025

Seattle University is marking a decade of environmental and social justice initiatives as outlined in Laudato Si’.


This May, the world will mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’ (“On Care for Our Common Home”) brought forth by Pope Francis, who invites different sectors of society to care for all creation. The disproportionate effect of environmental change on the poor is strongly highlighted in almost every page of the encyclical and the Pope provides many baneful examples of the effects of climate change, whose “worst impact” is felt by those in developing countries.

Central to Laudato Si’ is caring for one another, our communities, the world and the planet—particularly in light of the climate crisis, an urgency that the Pope emphasizes in the encyclical.

As a Jesuit, Catholic university, SU has demonstrated a purposeful and full commitment to the goals outlined within Laudato Si’:

• Respond to the Cry of the Earth
• Respond to the Cry of the Poor
• Foster Ecological Economics
• Adopt a Sustainable Lifestyle
• Offer Ecological Education
• Develop Ecological Spirituality
• Support Local Communities

“In Laudato Si’, the Pope is addressing both Catholics and people of goodwill,” says Professor Jeanette Rodriguez, PhD, who has been a key figure in how the university is leading when it comes to adopting the tenets of Laudato Si’. “It’s important to note that he doesn’t say ‘climate change’—he says, ‘climate crisis.’ I think that shift in language, that sometimes people might miss, is significant.”

Fossil Fuel Emissions Are Expected to Decrease in 2026

Global fossil fuel emissions are likely to decrease by 0.4% in 2026, according to new research by the Global Carbon Project, an annual report that tracks trends in global carbon emissions.

The drop was spurred on by the energy shock triggered by the Iran war and the expansion of wind and solar power adoption globally.

While it’s a promising sign, the researchers say that the findings don’t spell out a permanent decline in fossil fuel use, but rather a temporary shift.

“We see a decrease in emissions, but it's probably driven by a short term shock rather than a systemic peak,” says Mike O’Sullivan, senior lecturer at the University of Exeter and one of the report’s researchers.

Two of the world’s three biggest emitters are expected to see a drop in emissions. China’s emissions are expected to drop by 0.9% in 2026, following two years of remaining flat or falling. The country is a world leader in clean energy adoption, but is also responsible for 32% of global fossil fuel emissions. The U.S. is also expected to see a 1.3% decrease in emissions, mainly attributed to a decrease in coal emissions following a spike in 2025 due to high natural gas prices and a spell of cold weather. This trend, however, could shift. Since taking office, President Trump has invested hundreds of millions towards reviving the country’s coal industry, and repealed emissions standards for coal and gas power plants.

India, on the other hand, will likely see emissions rise by 4.4%—a bump from the 3.5% annual growth in fossil fuel emissions it has averaged over the last decade.

BOSTON — Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell today released a comprehensive report detailing the findings of the Attorney General’s Office’s (AGO) investigation into child sexual abuse in the Catholic Dioceses of Fall River, Springfield and Worcester. While previous investigations and public reporting had exposed institutional failures in the Archdiocese of Boston that allowed widespread abuse, this is the first comparable public accounting of the institutional failures within the Fall River, Springfield and Worcester dioceses.

The investigation found evidence that more than 270 Catholic clerics abused nearly 1,000 children across the three dioceses. Since the investigation began in 2019, the AGO reviewed more than 300,000 pages of records and interviewed more than 100 individuals, including survivors, advocates, attorneys, clergy, diocesan officials and employees.

The report documents decades of failures by diocesan leaders to adequately respond to allegations of child sexual abuse and protect children from further harm. The investigation found instances in which diocesan leaders failed to act on allegations and warning signs; transferred accused and offending priests to other parishes without disclosing the reasons for their transfers; returned priests to ministry following treatment without adequate supervision; failed to meaningfully enforce restrictions; concealed the reasons priests were removed from ministry; and failed to consistently report allegations to law enforcement.

ICE Agents Arrest Two, Block Ambulance Entrance at Adventist Health White Memorial; Community Demands Answers

Jared Wright|November 7, 20262

Early Saturday morning, November 7, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, blocked the ambulance bay of Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital and arrested two US citizens, according to multiple reports.

Video uploaded to Instagram shows over a half dozen masked agents with helmets, clubs and vests emblazoned with “Police ICE” standing in front of parked ambulances while demonstrators shout and blow whistles off camera. In the video, unmarked white SUVs with red and blue lights flashing are seen in the street next to the ambulance entrance to White Memorial’s emergency department.

Other videos recorded earlier the same night show several ICE agents sitting in unmarked vehicles in the White Memorial Hospital emergency department parking lot.

According to Los Angeles-based public media outlet LAist.com, ICE agents detained at least two people, whom rapid response groups identified as US citizens. The LAist report cited Raquel Roman, executive director of Proyecto Pastoral and a member of the Boyle Heights Immigrant Rights Network, who said the incident began when people witnessed someone being detained and taken into the hospital. A separate eyewitness video shows several armed agents in tactical gear apprehending a person who is seen being pushed into the ground by agents at around 11:30 p.m. on Friday, November 6.

White Memorial Hospital is a site where people in ICE custody have been taken for medical treatment, according to records released under FOIA as documented by The ICE List.

In response to the federal agents’ presence, Adventist Health VP for Corporate Communication Japhet De Oliveira shared a statement distancing the hospital from the agents’ actions:

Veterans' Day and the White Coats

Veterans' Day and the White Coats

November 11, 2026

David Read

At 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918--the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month--the Great War, the most destructive war in human history to that point, finally came to an end. It was called “the war to end all wars,” but an even more destructive world war broke out less than 21 years later.

Armistice Day eventually came to be called Veterans' Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in the British Commonwealth countries. The days leading up to November 11 are traditionally marked in Britain and the commonwealth by the wearing of a poppy in the buttonhole. Why poppies? The answer is given in the poem, “In Flanders Fields,” written by a Canadian doctor, Col. John McCrae:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

On January 28, 1918, worn down by years as a battlefield surgeon, Col. John McCrae died of pneumonia and cerebral meningitis. He was 45.

Most Adventists know about Desmond Doss, the only Adventist to win the Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest military decoration, thanks to the book “The Unlikeliest Hero” by Booton Herndon, Mel Gibson’s movie, “Hacksaw Ridge,” and Terry Benedict’s excellent documentary, “The Conscientious Objector.” But most Adventists do not know what happened to Adventist conscientious objectors in the post-WW2 era.

Between 1954 and 1973, more than 2,300 Seventh-day Adventist conscientious objectors volunteered to serve as medical test subjects--essentially guinea pigs--at the army's bio-defense research center at Fort Detrick, Maryland. In "Operation Whitecoat," army researchers intentionally exposed volunteer enlisted men to a variety of pathogens that the army believed might be used in future biological warfare.

South American Adventists’ Views on Women’s Ordination

André Kanasiro|Jonathan Monteiro|

November 5, 2026|Analysis

One of the most widespread misconceptions in the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the notion that there are no women pastors. This falsehood is accompanied by at least two other errant ideas: that the purported non-existence of women pastors owes to the prohibition of women’s ministry by the General Conference and that women’s ordination is in disharmony with the Bible. Yet another false belief stems from the idea that women leaders are culturally objectionable, suggesting that rejecting women pastors is a cultural issue.

Adventist institutions have long kept their meeting minutes, yearbooks, and reports on women’s ordination classified. Without the internet, access to this information has been restricted to conference, union, or division employees. And in this way, the existence of women in gospel ministry and other forms of church leadership has been largely forgotten or consciously hidden by leaders who have hoped to quell conversation on the topic. Who, then, is responsible for Adventists’ ignorance regarding women pastors? And who bears responsibility for gender inequality in the pastoral ministry?

The long story of women in Adventist ministry is one of action responding to need. Between 1863 and 1865, Hannah More became the denomination’s first church planter, converting people in the West African coast. In 1868, Sarah A. Hallock Lindsey and Ellen S. Edmonds Lane became the first Adventist evangelists. In the following year, 1869, Lindsey became the first Adventist woman pastor, and received her ministerial license. Two years later, Ellen G. White, cofounder of the Adventist Church, received her first ministerial credentials, awarded only to people that were ordained for gospel ministry. Lane and Lindsey were not the first women pastors of that time. And though Adventists communities remain proud of the legacy of church’s pioneers who dedicated their lives to the denomination’s foundation, except White, few or no women—past or present—are mentioned.

In the South-American Division (SAD), for instance, there is Dina Salas, deemed the first Adventist woman pastor formally registered in the territory. Salas began her ministerial career in Peru in 1977, and, in 1979, received her missionary licenses and credentials from the church. While official documents used the term “missionary,” church publications and accounts of those times identified her as a pastor. In 1986, for instance, Adventist Review described her as a “Peruvian pastor and evangelist,” while mission quarterlies highlighted her work in the Camana district, where she led churches, preached, oversaw the work of pastors and elders, and ran evangelistic activities that resulted in the organization of new congregations and the baptism of dozens. Salas’ journey unfolded while the General Conference (GC) recommended that women not receive ministerial credentials, only missionary credentials, even when they performed pastoral duties. After four decades of ministry, which included the role of hospital chaplain and were concluded as she retired in 2017, Salas is one of the most relevant characters in South American female pastoral ministry, leaving a legacy of evangelism, leadership, and service.

More recently, in Brazil, there was also the brief journey of Aqueldan Feldberg. From 2021 to 2022, Feldberg was part of a small group of women performing pastoral duties in the Nova Semente church, in São Paulo, without the formal pastoral title given by the organization. In that year, she was identified as a “pastor” in the church’s official website, but the label was later removed.

Pope Leo XIV's Congress Invite: What They Aren't Telling You

Pope Leo XIV's Congress Invite: What They Aren't Telling You

Strange Normal

Nov 11, 2026

Ninety-one members of the United States Congress have signed a letter asking Pope Leo the Fourteenth to address a joint session of Congress in January of 2027, and I believe this is a major sign of Bible prophecy unfolding in real time. This would only be the second time a reigning pope has addressed Congress, after Pope Francis in 2015, and it comes from the first American-born pope ever to hold the office. I walk through the letter, the Vatican meeting between Vice President Vance and Pope Leo, and what Revelation 13, Daniel 7 and Ellen White's Last Day Events say about the beast power behind this invitation. 

I open with the letter itself: 91 lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans together, asking Pope Leo the Fourteenth to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives in January of 2027. I compare it to the only other time this has happened, Pope Francis in September of 2015. 

I go back to May of 2025, when Vice President Vance personally delivered a letter from the President to Pope Leo inside the Vatican, and I show you that clip. 

I play Pope Leo's own words about being the first American-born pope, where he says he thinks of himself first as pastor of a universal church with a voice to every people on earth, and I read Revelation 13:12 and Daniel 7:25 against that claim. 

I am clear that the beast of Revelation is the church-state system, not Catholic people in the pew, and I play Pope Francis's 2015 address to Congress to show the precedent already set. 

I lay out the threefold union of Revelation 13:11, 13:14, 13:15 and 16:13-14, and read Ellen White's words from Last Day Events, page 144, about Protestant America stretching its hand across the gulf to Rome. 

I close by testing all of it against Isaiah 8:20, and I tell you what I am watching for next as this invitation moves toward January of 2027.

MTG says Evangelical pastors treated Trump like Jesus: 'It was so disgusting'

By Ryan Foley, Christian Post Reporter Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appears on "The Tim Pool Show," Nov. 8, 2026. | YouTube/Tim Pool Show

One of President Donald Trump's strongest supporters-turned-critics is suggesting that Evangelical pastors have treated the president like Jesus, reiterating her belief that Trump does not have an authentic Christian faith.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared on an episode of "The Tim Pool Show" published Sunday, where they discussed the fallout from the 2026 midterm elections, which saw Democrats take control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.


Greene, 52, was one of Trump's most outspoken allies in the House but broke with the president over his handling of the Epstein files and resigned from office earlier this year.

The conversation touched on Greene's relationship with Trump and what caused it to deteriorate. Pool noted that Greene was "the biggest Trump ally," and she agreed.

"The Democrats, the liberals, they came after you. They kicked you off a committee for something you didn't even do in Congress," Pool added. "And when it came time for you to give … Trump the honest advice he needed to hear, he says: 'Get out of my face, you're a traitor.'"

Pool claimed that "when Trump surrounds himself with people who just sniff his farts, he's going to do bad things, wrong things and he's going to get obliterated." Greene offered a similar analysis, lamenting that Trump's closest advisers "all stood behind him like clapping trained baby seals."

"Anything he said, they were just back there like, 'Yes, Mr. President, you're the greatest.' 'Oh my gosh, we love you.' 'There's no one like you,'" she added.

Greene took issue with the view of several conservative Evangelical pastors who believe that "Donald Trump is anointed by God" and "God gave us Donald Trump."

Greene alleged that Evangelical pastors were treating the president "like he's literally Jesus reincarnated."

The West Was Built on Biblical Truth—Now a Return to Paganism Threatens Civilization, Warns Author

 

Calamities Blamed on God’s People

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Revelation 12:12.

As men depart further and further from God, Satan is permitted to have power over the children of disobedience. He hurls destruction among men. There is calamity by land and sea. Property and life are destroyed by fire and flood. Satan resolves to charge this upon those who refuse to bow to the idol which he has set up. His agents point to Seventh-day Adventists as the cause of the trouble. “These people stand out in defiance of law,” they say. “They desecrate Sunday. Were they compelled to obey the law for Sunday observance, there would be a cessation of these terrible judgments.” 44The Review and Herald, July 16, 1901.

Calamities will come—calamities most awful, most unexpected; and these destructions will follow one after another. If there will be a heeding of the warnings that God has given, and if churches will repent, returning to their allegiance, then other cities may be spared for a time. But if men who have been deceived continue in the same way in which they have been walking, disregarding the law of God and presenting falsehoods before the people, God allows them to suffer calamity, that their senses may be awakened.45Evangelism, 27.

The judgments will be according to the wickedness of the people and the light of truth that they have had. If they have had the truth, according to that light will be the punishment.46Manuscript 173, 1902.

Satan puts his interpretation upon events, and they [leading men] think, as he would have them, that the calamities which fill the land are a result of Sunday-breaking. Thinking to appease the wrath of God, these influential men make laws enforcing Sunday observance. They think that by exalting this false rest-day higher, and still higher, compelling obedience to the Sunday law, the spurious sabbath, they are doing God service. Those who honor God by observing the true Sabbath are looked upon as disloyal to God, when it is really those who thus regard them who are themselves disloyal, because they are trampling under foot the Sabbath originated in Eden.47Manuscript 85, 1899.

Maranatha, E.G. White, p.176.

Inside the Secret Mass Transportation of Migrant Children | Whistleblower Interview

Nick Shirley Interviews

Nov 9, 2026

In this exclusive interview, I sit down with former General Services Administration (GSA) contract specialist and whistleblower Clarissa Rippee to investigate the mass transportation of unaccompanied migrant children across the United States during the Biden administration.

Clarissa reveals what she says she uncovered while working in federal contracting, including an $985 MILLION government contract connected to transportation services, the movement of unaccompanied minors by planes, buses, trains, and vans, and serious concerns about where these children ultimately ended up.

We discuss allegations that hundreds of thousands of migrant children were inadequately tracked, reports of late-night flights transporting minors across the country, and questions surrounding the government's oversight of contractors and sponsors responsible for these children.

Clarissa also explains the moment she began questioning what she was witnessing, why she decided to speak out, and why she believes the American public deserves answers.

Were proper safeguards in place? Who was responsible for ensuring these children reached safe destinations? And what happened to the children whose whereabouts became uncertain?

These are serious allegations, and claims about missing children, trafficking, and government responsibility require independent verification. In this interview, we examine Clarissa's firsthand account, the contracts she discusses, and the questions she believes remain unanswered.

The American Dream Is Being Crushed: The Cost Of Living Is Spiraling Out Of Control And Millions Of Americans Can No Longer Afford The Basics Of Everyday Life

November 10, 2026 by Michael

Do you feel stressed out whenever another bill arrives in the mail or another unexpected expense suddenly hits you? If so, you are certainly not alone. All over America, much of the population is living in a constant state of financial stress in 2026. According to a CNBC and SurveyMonkey survey, approximately 63 percent of U.S. adults report living paycheck to paycheck. That figure includes a whopping 81 percent of Americans that make less than $50,000 a year that say that they are living paycheck to paycheck. When you have to constantly watch where every single dollar goes, it can suck the life right out of you. As I discussed in one recent article, 44 percent of Americans now struggle to even afford the most basic necessities. That is nearly half the country. We have been mired in a seemingly endless cost of living crisis for this entire decade, and there is no end in sight. In fact, it appears that it is getting even worse.

On Tuesday, we learned that consumer prices rose even faster than expected last month…

Price increases remained stubbornly high in October as expensive energy prices kept rippling through the US economy, with zero relief in sight for weary American consumers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that consumer prices rose by 0.4 percent in October month over month, after a 0.6 percent gain in September.

The BLS did not release a year-over-year comparison for October 2026 because the agency was unable to gather data one year ago during the 2025 government shutdown – but prices are up about 4 percent over the last 12 months.

Of course the truth is that the cost of living is most definitely not “up about 4 percent over the last 12 months”.

It is going up way faster than that.

Since 1978, the way that the federal government calculates the rate of inflation has changed over and over again.

ANTALYA, Turkey, Nov 10 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres took aim at oil ⁠companies making ⁠billions of dollars in profits while families, businesses and governments ⁠suffer, as he used the COP31 climate conference to criticise fossil fuel dependency.



Tayyip Erdogan, president of the talks' host nation Turkey, meanwhile welcomed an oil ​discovery in the Turkish mountains, and the country's climate negotiators pushed governments to sign a pledge to electrify their economies. The pledge does not specify whether the electricity involved would be renewable or from fossil fuels.


Taken together, the discourse ‌on Tuesday, the second day of the two-week UN conference ‌in Antalya, highlights a tension at the heart of the climate debate: fossil fuels underpin the global economy, but also hurt it through costly climate damage and often-volatile energy prices.


A UN report last month showed the world is ⁠poised to warm well beyond ⁠the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) threshold scientists say could unleash the worst consequences of climate change, as greenhouse gas ​emissions continue to grow.


While many people endure the impact of inflation, oil companies have largely benefited from a rise in fossil fuel prices since the US-Israeli war on Iran disrupted energy shipments from the Middle East.


"Fossil fuels are not only driving the climate crisis. Dependence on them carries a steep economic and security price – as the crisis in the Middle East has laid bare," Guterres, who will step down at the end of the year, said.


"Families, businesses and governments are paying the price. ​Meanwhile, nine oil companies are on track to rake in more than $95 billion in just three months. That is more than one billion dollars a day."


Guterres did not name the companies. Exxon ⁠Mobil, ⁠Chevron Corp, BP and Shell have reported ⁠windfall earnings since the Iran war began at ​the end of February.
