Across the globe, oil, gas and coal companies use an ever-widening set of tactics to crush competition and opposition. With the world’s most powerful man helping them at every turn, it’s critical we reveal their full impactToday the Guardian launches its annual environment support campaign. To back our vital climate journalism, please click hereWhy does capital love fossil fuels? It’s not hard to explain. They exist in a small number of discrete locations, where the right to exploit them can be owned and monopolised. Most can be extracted commercially only at scale, excluding small competitors.

1 week ago Emile Smith Rowe’s instant impact for Fulham denies Manchester United

Ruben Amorim’s first response to Manchester United executives’ attempts last autumn to woo him was to ask to wait until the summer, granting time and space to know the club and players. This August’s season-opening matches were supposed to be the start, when he could be properly judged. Instead, he is already nine months into the job that enveloped five predecessors. Initial positive signs gave way to the muddle United closed last season within, casting a hungover shadow over attempts at a full reboot.After Rodrigo Muniz’s own-goal, claimed by Leny Yoro, Craven Cottage became that nine months in microcosm, Amorim’s team incapable of putting their opponent away. Bruno Fernandes’s uncharacteristic first-half penalty miss was redolent of a team full of psychological as well as tactical and personnel problems. Continue reading...
