CALGARY — French oil and gas company Total says it will ditch its membership in the U.S.-based American Petroleum Institute because it disagrees on climate-related policies. The move announced Friday follows its decision last July to drop out of the Calgary-based Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and write off $9.3-billion worth of oilsands assets in Alberta. Total said in a statement Friday it would not renew its membership for 2021 following an analysis of API's position on climate issues that has shown "certain divergences.” The company notably mentions API's "support during the recent elections to candidates who argued against the United States’ participation" in the 2015 Paris Agreement to curb climate change. Total says it is working to provide cleaner energy and its CEO, Patrick Pouyanne, said the group wants to ensure that “the industry associations of which we are a member adopt positions and messages that are aligned with those of the group in the fight against climate change.” Total said last summer it was leaving CAPP because of a "misalignment'' between the organization's public positions and those expressed in Total's climate ambition statement announced last May. At the time, CAPP CEO Tim McMillan called the decision "disappointing" and Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage called it "highly-hypocritical'' given Total's investments in other parts of the world. Total’s decision to leave the API is significant, said Peter Frumhoff, the director of science and policy at the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists. “It’s a very big deal for an oil major to take a position basically leaving the major trade association here in the United States,” he said. With more than 600 members, API represents all segments of the oil and natural gas industry in the U.S. Frumhoff said the move came just days after API’s president, Mike Summers, made a speech in which he said the group would fight regulation of methane emissions, restrictions on drilling on public lands and support for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. He added that Total's decision put pressure on oil companies BP and Shell, which both said they aim at fighting greenhouse gas emissions, “to put their political power where their mouth is and do the same.” President-elect Joe Biden, who has said he wants to focus on fighting climate change, has pledged to have the U.S. rejoin the Paris accord on the first day of his presidency.

The European Medical Agency (EMA) has warned that information on COVID-19-related medicines and vaccines, which was stolen in a cyber attack last December and leaked online earlier this week, includes correspondence that's been manipulated prior to publication "in a way which could undermine trust in vaccines". It's not clear exactly how the information -- which includes schematics of drug structures and correspondence relating to evaluation processes for COVID-19 vaccines -- has been doctored. One security researcher, Lukasz Olejnik, who has raised concerns about the leak via Twitter suggested the doctored data will be "perfect for sowing distrust" because the biotechnical language involved in the leaked correspondence will not be widely accessible.
Calgary Police have charged the parents of a dependent adult with neglect after the 27-year-old man, weighing 19 kilograms, was taken to hospital. Police say the parents found the man unresponsive in his bedroom in their home in the northeast part of the city on Oct. 24. He was admitted to hospital in acute medical distress. "The victim suffered from a medical condition and was completely dependent on his parents for all his basic needs," Staff Sgt. Vincent Hancott with the Calgary Police Service's domestic conflict unit said in a release Friday. "It is believed his parents failed to provide him necessary care, progressing to the point where his life was in danger." He said the man is recovering in a long-term care facility. Jonathon Grunewald, 52, and Malinda Phillips, 47, were charged Wednesday with failing to provide the necessaries of life and negligence causing bodily harm. They are to appear in court Feb. 4. Hancott said it was the actions of a front-line care worker that brought the matter to the attention of police. "This is a very serious situation and we commend this individual for recognizing the signs of neglect and contacting police," he said. "We recognize this is a difficult time for everyone and many people in our city are struggling. However, caregivers remain obligated to ensure the proper care of those who are dependent upon them for their safety and well-being."

Spain's Merlin Properties said on Friday it would roll out an online platform this year that allows clients to view, reserve and rent space in its shopping centres and aims to cut red tape for prospective tenants. Struggling with coronavirus restrictions on movement that have slashed footfall and left commercial space vacant for months, more Spanish property firms have moved online with virtual visits or e-signatures to draw in clients. Alvaro Guerrero, Merlin's director of shopping centre management, told Reuters the firm's new online system "foregoes the need for guarantors, transfers, and paperwork - you just need a credit card, which is a novelty in retail leasing."
