Ten Minutes On... Iraq Wants More Oil While Europe Endures a Heatwave Future

TEN MINUTES ON…

Two headlines. One global crisis. As Iraq pushes to pump more oil and Europe endures another deadly heatwave, these stories might seem unrelated. In fact, they're connected by a single paradox: countries are racing to extract more fossil fuels even as climate change accelerates. This Ten Minutes On... episode by Guy Burton explores why Iraq wants to leave OPEC, why oil producers are trying to maximise revenues before demand peaks, what Europe's record-breaking temperatures tell us about our changing climate, and why both producers and consumers of fossil fuels face the same uncomfortable future. The fossil fuel era isn't ending quietly—and its final chapter may be its most consequential.
