Shell to stop buying Russian oil, natural gas amid Ukraine invasion
FILE - The Shell logo is displayed outside one of its petrol stations on May 27, 2021, in Leeds, England. (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) LONDON - Energy giant Shell said Tuesday that it will stop buying Russian oil and natural gas and shut down its service stations, aviation fuels and other operations in the country amid international pressure for companies to sever ties over the invasion of Ukraine.The company said in a statement that it would withdraw from all Russian hydrocarbons, including crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas and liquefied natural gas, "in a phased manner."The decision comes as surging oil prices have been rattling global markets and just days after Ukraine’s foreign minister criticized Shell for continuing to buy Russian oil, lashing out at the company for continuing to do business with President Vladimir Putin’s government."We are acutely aware that our decision last week to purchase a cargo of Russian crude oil to be refined into products like petrol and diesel — despite being made with security of supplies at the forefront of our thinking — was not the right one and we are sorry," CEO Ben van Beurden said.

This means that Airbnb is not profiting from any stays in the country.

McDonald's, PepsiCo urged to cease Russia operations by NY pension fund
McDonald's, PepsiCo and others to consider pausing or ending business operations in Russia amid the country's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.The fund's trustee, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, warned in a series of letters that companies who continue to operate in Russia and invest in Russian assets "face significant and growing legal, compliance, operational, human rights and personnel, and reputational risks." "Pausing or ending McDonald’s business operations in Russia would address various investment risks associated with the Russian market and play an important role in condemning Russia’s role in fundamentally undermining the international order that is vital to a strong and healthy global economy," DiNapoli wrote in a letter addressed to McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski reviewed by FOX Business. The comptroller's office estimates that the $280 billion fund has about $110.8 million in public equity investments, including direct holdings and co-mingled funds in Russian companies. The New York Common Retirement Fund's stakes in McDonald's and PepsiCo were valued at approximately $410 million and $501 million, respectively, as of the end of 2021, according to its latest 13F filing.McDonald's has a total of 847 restaurant locations in Russia and 108 locations in Ukraine.

Nearly 80% of Amazon rainforest shows signs of loss, study finds
Aerial view showing a deforested area of Amazonia rainforest in Labrea, Amazonas state, Brazil, on September 15, 2021. Nearly 80% of the Amazon rainforest has exhibited signs of loss since the early 2000s according to a recent study published on March 7 in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature Climate Change.The data indicates that if climate change continues at the rate it is, the rainforest could be pushed "past critical thresholds," researchers noted. Scientists used satellite remote sensing data in order to pinpoint what they refer to as "resilience," or the ability for the forest to recover from environmentally tragic events like droughts or fires. Study authors found that the loss of resilience was found most commonly in areas closer to human activity. The area deforested in Brazil's Amazon also expanded to a 15-year high after a 22% jump from the prior year, according to official data published in November.The National Institute for Space Research’s Prodes monitoring system showed the Brazilian Amazon lost 13,235 square kilometers of rainforest in the 12-month reference period from Aug.
