According to a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal #WIREs #ClimateChange, these activists have good reason to suspect that oil money might influence #academicresearch. It’s the first comprehensive look at the extensive ties between #BigOil and #universities, uncovering hundreds of instances in which #fossilfuel funding may have led to conflict of interests for researchers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. #ecoblanchiment #greenwashingacadémico

@Crispius #Alberta's tar sands tailings have been leaching and spilling into our watershed for years. Only #Indigenous nations have called on #BigOil to invest their gigantic profits in cleaning up their mess. Public govts continue to give them a pass. #WaterisLife
EU weakens goals for use of recycled plastic in new cars: in 10 years 25% of their plastic needs to be from recycled materials, as opposed to achieving that goal already in 6 years.
Interesting step to take when plastic recycle companies are already slowly going bankrupt due to not being able to compete with the old way of doing business. Luckily all other green policies are going great. /s

@10tothe22 Hey there. I don't mind you sharing a graphic I dug up from my archives, but could you at least copy the alt text I put in there? TY! Also, the quote is from a movie, not Orwell.
Alt Text: An image of a metallic surface, with the letters I R A, and another spot where there is half a Q and half an N. Is the war between us an IRAN? Or us and IRAQ?
There is a quote below the image (misattributed to George Orwell):
"The war is not meant to be won
it is meant to be continuous."
- George Orwell

Alberta's Danielle Smith has perfected pipeline populism despite Big Oil's lack of interest. Peak oil production occurred in 2018 and demand has decreased since then. "There are no proposed crude oil pipelines to the West Coast on the drawing boards. Neither Enbridge Inc. nor TC Energy Inc., both based in Calgary, have shown interest in revisiting their earlier pipeline proposals, which were rejected by governments in Canada and the U.S." #bigoil #alberta https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20250618/281947433819403?srsltid=AfmBOopMO7AqZr-ZdhqGDIPrKM1QFdabeFg6j3LgklMMAn7oPdTZCty5
Federal Bill C5 called "Trumplike" and antidemocratic. “Bill C5 has given rise to a ConservativeLiberal coalition working for the oil companies.

i wonder how bad 8 billion human corpses smell?
We’ll pass 2C in just 10 years.
2C will likely fast track us to 4C in decades.
4C means #death for ALMOST ALL of the 8 BILLION people who live on this planet.
We’re being led by #warmongers & #FossilFuel whores at the worst possible time.
But then, that’s very much part of the plan.

"From 2010-22, O&G received nearly one-quarter trillion dollars ($248B) in income tax deductions from capital cost allowances (CCAs), natural resource expense claims, prior year losses applied, and capital gains exemptions. The sector received an additional $16.6B in refundable tax credits. During those years, O&G ranked first among non-financial industries in tax benefits received." https://www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources/news-views/canadas-oil-gas-sector-continues-receive-tax-breaks-while-climate-commitments

Senate GOP Legislation “Is Just Open Season on Public Lands,” Critics Warn
It’s being called a giveaway to corporate interests and the rich disguised as an effort to alleviate the housing crisis.
The country is literally on fire. So we better get to work building more pipelines, thereby enabling us to pump even more oil out of the ground and have even bigger, hotter, wilder, more outofcontrol fires. This seems to be the main takeaway from the new détente reached between Ottawa and the provinces in the name of fighting the threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump. #wildfires #canada #bigoil #pipelines #environment #climatechange https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/as-climate-induced-hell-fires-rage-across-the-country-canada-looks-to-build-pipelines-in/article_3c350bf6-2d9a-4146-a69b-3f905fc3454f.html
