"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

A fire broke out Thursday at the Olmeca refinery's petroleum coke storage facility in Dos Bocas, Tabasco, prompting the evacuation of workers in the processing area. Pemex confirmed the blaze was extinguished with no injuries initially reported.

Around 150 specialized Pemex emergency personnel responded to the fire, with additional support from Mexico's Navy, Army and state government authorities. Pemex director Víctor Rodríguez Padilla traveled to the site to oversee recovery efforts.

Pemex later reported that one firefighter suffered mild smoke inhalation and was treated by emergency services. Residents nearby reported hearing a loud sound resembling pressurized air before a large column of smoke became visible across the municipality.

The April fire was the second such incident in under a month at the refinery. A March 17 blaze, triggered when heavy rains caused oily water to overflow and ignite outside the facility's perimeter, killed five people.

The Olmeca refinery cost $21 billion to build — more than double its original budget — and began operations in 2024. It has a maximum processing capacity of 340,000 barrels per day but is currently operating at roughly 60% of that capacity.

Mexico announced a plan to more than double its natural gas production by tapping 141 trillion cubic feet of unconventional gas reserves, subject to environmental review. The country currently imports about three-quarters of its natural gas demand, primarily from the U.S.

Mexico's oil industry is turning the Gulf of Mexico into a sacrifice zone — oil spills have damaged 17 reefs, killed sea turtles and manatees, and spread across seven nature reserves. Children living near the Olmeca refinery suffer dizziness, nausea and respiratory problems daily. Treating ecosystems and communities as acceptable collateral damage for petroleum profits is reckless and unconscionable.

Mexico's economy simply cannot function without a robust oil sector — fuel powers urban mobility, industrial operations and electricity generation nationwide. Pemex is actively pursuing private partnerships and new financial vehicles to modernize operations and pay down debt. Abandoning or crippling the industry over manageable risks would devastate the supply chain that keeps the entire Mexican economy running.
