Every day for the last 50 years, the oil and gas industry has brought in $3 BILLION in profits. Not revenues. Profits.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

See — https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jul/21/revealed-oil-sectors-staggering-profits-last-50-years

That’s 💵 💵 💵 $52 trillion 💵 💵 💵 in pure profit, their payoff for happily destroying our climate and biosphere.

We need system change NOW.

@breadandcircuses Worth bearing in mind those figures are in 2020 prices. They really should have put that somewhere near the top of the news article. Sure it's helpful to understand the scale of the profits in today's money, but it's also important to be upfront about such a methodology.
