Hurricane Helene is just one example of the increasing frequency and severity of storms. This week, Hurricane Milton has already reached Cat 5 and is projected to bring life threatening hurricane force winds and a destructive storm surge to Florida. Those directly impacted by these disasters endure immense suffering, while major oil and gas companies continue to prioritise profits over the well-being of our planet and its people. As these extreme weather patterns become more intense and frequent, the costs to life and property will only escalate. It\u2019s time to make big oil and gas polluters pay for the mess they have created.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ian Duff, Head of Greenpeace International\u2019s Stop Drilling Start Paying campaign said:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe death and misery brought by storms like Helene and Milton are what we get while the oil and gas giants that are responsible take in massive profits. So long as nowhere is safe from the climate crisis, there must be no impunity for climate polluters. Any new U.S. administration must force Big Oil to stop drilling and start paying for the harms it is doing to everyday people and the economy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total economic loss from the humanitarian crisis created by Hurricane Helene, including damages to infrastructure, healthcare costs, blackouts, and business disruptions, was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/en\/hurricane\/helene-is-2nd-deadliest-u-s-hurricane-in-50-years-could-cost-250-billion\/1698452\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">estimated by AccuWeather<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be as high as $250 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storm Helene and hurricane Milton are striking the U.S. while Big Oil is making such violent events ever more likely, with companies like TotalEnergies, Shell, Energy Transfer and Eni launching intimidation lawsuits against those who warn of their toxic mode of operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ENDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Photos and videos are available in the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/collection\/27MZIFJV3YORY\"><b>Greenpeace Media Library<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Contacts:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenpeace International Press Desk: pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org, +31 (0) 20 718 2470 (available 24 hours)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The evidence is overwhelming: climate change is fueling the extreme weather patterns we are witnessing worldwide.
