Big Oil, Big Profits: Chevron Records $6.3B Profit, Exxon $5.5B - in Just Three Months
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the first three months of the year, Chevron reported $6.3 billion
in profits, and Exxon Mobil reported $5.5 billion in profits. Meanwhile,
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has criticized how fossil fuel
companies are responding to the war. In a tweet, he wrote, "Fossil fuel
interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a
high carbon future. A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our
broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate
impacts today."
