But, the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.” Groups are urging the United States and European Union not to invest in new fossil fuel infrastructure and production. Canada approved Bay du Nord, a new deep-sea oil project in Newfoundland and Labrador. Major tech companies, especially Amazon, have been helping oil companies extract more oil.
