International Survey Shows 81% Back Forcing #BigOil to Pay for #Climate Destruction
"People are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of #FossilFuel giants all over the #storms, #floods, #droughts, and #wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said the head of one green group.

"Large majorities of people around the world support both taxing #oil, #gas, and #coal companies for the #EnvironmentalDamage made worse by fossil fuels and using higher taxes on #polluters to support communities most impacted by the #ClimateCrisis, according to the results of an international survey released Thursday.
"The study, which was jointly commissioned by #Greenpeace International and #Oxfam International, surveyed roughly 1,200 people in each of these 13 countries: #Brazil, #Canada, #France, #Germany, #India, #Italy, #Kenya, #Mexico, #Philippines, #SouthAfrica, #Spain, #UnitedKingdom, and the #UnitedStates. The research was conducted by the data company Dynata, and field work was done between May 9-28, 2025. Greenpeace noted that, taken together, the countries represent close to 50% of the globe's population.
"The results of the survey showed a whopping 81% of those surveyed would support taxes fossil fuel companies to pay for damages wrought by 'fossil-fuel driven climate disasters.'
"These survey results send a clear message: people are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of fossil fuel giants all over the storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said #MadsChristensen, the executive director of #GreenpeaceInternational.
" 'It's only fair that those who caused the crisis should pay for the damage, not those suffering from it,' he added.

In Ecuador’s Amazon, Big Oil exploits Indigenous communities in the absence of the state https://news.mongabay.com/2025/06/in-ecuadors-amazon-big-oil-exploits-indigenous-communities-in-the-absence-of-the-state/

"Now two things are true at once here. First Elon is doing this to help himself and his bottom line. Second he's still correct. This bill will absolutely gut clean energy -- something that Elon probably should have considered when he threw his lot in with a political party that thinks climate change is a hoax and that bolstering clean energy isn't worth it, which by the way *is* better for the environment and cheaper and the future of energy, which China seems to understand even if American Republicans don't. So when Elon then tweets 'Poll show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican party' with a chart showing that roughly 6 in 10 voters oppose this bill. Again he's correct and also he himself is to blame. This is literally the party that he bankrolled. Give me a break."

There's an NGO in #Indonesia that has been happy to speak with me about #Japan or #WorldBank funding for #coal or #fossilfuel projects. 🏭
But when I reached out to them about #China's funding, they ignored my message and then apologized for being "too busy last week" - but I had time and asked if we can do an interview that week or next. They proceeded to do the same thing again! 🤯
Working on another Japan-Indonesia story & bet they'll be responsive, but they've lost my trust.
Weak UK lobbying laws let #FossilFuel giants influence #climate policies
#Oil and #gas firms were able to water down or change Conservative policies without scrutiny, new report finds
Climate-focused think tank InfluenceMap has uncovered that industry influence appears to have led to the delay and dilution of UK policies on the roll-out of heat pumps, the development of ‘sustainable’ aviation fuel and the granting of new oil and gas licenses.
2/ This isn’t climate leadership: it’s a fossil fuel lifeline. #CCS is being used to greenwash new #oil and #gas infrastructure. It’s not reducing emissions: it’s locking in decades more #FossilFuel extraction at public expense.
🚨 The #UK is projected to spend up to £264 BILLION on Carbon Capture and Storage (#CCS) by 2050 🚨
Of that, £136 BILLION is for #FossilFuel infrastructure (gas power plants and blue hydrogen) all under the false flag of #ClimateAction

Rampant #climate #misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report.
It found climate action was being obstructed and delayed by false and misleading information stemming from #fossilfuel companies, #rightwing #politicians and some nation states. The report, from the International Panel on the Information Environment (Ipie), systematically reviewed 300 studies.

Victoria releases long-promised, but watered down, gas policy
Gas heating and hot water systems will be banned in all new homes and nearly all commercial buildings, with exceptions for agriculture and manufacturing. New constructions will have to use electric systems.
