Fossil fuel funding
Indicates gross corruption
Earth winces in pain
Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement
An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and #HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

"In a recent piece, #BrettChristophers describes the global shift from active policymaking to acceptance and surrender. He joins Tom to discuss the roles of Europe, the US and China in #climateChange, why solutions like ‘carbon capture’ are futile and where there’s room for cautious optimism."
Have we surrendered to #climateBreakdown?

@urlyman #CarbonCaptureAndStorage which #Labour, like everyone else, knows fine well is a #GreenWashing scam by the #FossilFuelLobby which cannot work, will not work, and isn't actually even intended to work.
It's just a channel to funnel even more public money to some more of Labour's donors.
Awesome sting operation.
"The host country is also facing accusations that it is using the climate talks for business, after the head of the talks, Elnur Soltanov, was caught in a secret recording promoting oil and gas deals. That sting was organized by the group Global Witness, which put forward a fake investor."

This is what COP has devolved into: summits hosted by petrostates, empty promises and contracts to burn more fossil fuels.
This is not the first time that fossil fuel companies tried to sign deals with each other at COP.

This city just made it illegal to advertise #SUVs. Here’s why. #Edinburgh became the latest European capital city to ban ads for #aviation, SUVs, and more.
"Last month this Scottish city — filled with medieval spires and shadowed by the looming castle on the hill said to have inspired the Harry Potter books — made a startlingly modern decision. Edinburgh’s city council voted to ban fossil fuel advertisements on city property, undermining the ability of not only oil companies, but also car manufacturers, airlines and cruise ships, to promote their products. The ban targeted arms manufacturers as well."

Dharna Noor: Far-right fossil fuel company allies pressure US supreme court to shield firms in unprecedented campaign: Groups linked to billionaire Leonard Leo, who seems to have ties to Chevron, are pressing the court to intervene in lawsuits that could cost billions
"Far-right fossil fuel allies have launched a stunning and unprecedented campaign pressuring the supreme court to shield fossil fuel companies from litigation that could cost them billions of dollars.
Some of the groups behind the campaign have ties to Leonard Leo, the architect of the rightwing takeover of the supreme court who helped select Trump’s supreme court nominees. Leo also appears to have ties to Chevron, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit."

“We know that carbon emissions are the root cause of environmental destabilisation. They are a key driver of increasingly extreme weather patterns, food price inflation, and water shortages.
So fossil fuel enablers should be made pariahs, not policymakers in the highest levels of government”

Same happening across the pond here in the UK.
Conservatives going full on anti #ClimateCrisis mitigation and giving taxpayers money away to the fossil fuel co.s
Liberals are farting about in the middle ground, while still enabling #FossilFuelLobby & empty pledges
Unfortunately in our 2 party system is tough to get #GreenParty in power
@CelloMomOnCars @chu Hi from #Australia - where we produce more gas than Qatar, and get less revenue from it than we do from screwing over our own students for HECS repayments. #FossilFuelLobby #SubsidisedEcocide
Ava Sasani: New York lobbyists ‘aiding and abetting’ climate crisis, research reveals: Lobbying firms work double-duty, representing political interests of victims and perpetrators of climate change in state capital
"New research reveals that dozens of New York universities, hospitals, museums and non-profits are employing #lobbyists that also work for fossil fuel companies, which some say is blatantly “aiding and abetting” climate crisis.
New York’s wealthiest lobbying firms work double-duty in the state capital, representing the political interests of both the victims and perpetrators of the climate crisis, according to a new report from F Minus, a database of state-level lobbying disclosures released last year, and LittleSis, a project created by the non-profit corporate and government accountability watchdog Public Accountability Initiative."

Do people riding #scooters need to take care,
or
do #car drivers, and government need to make it safer to scoot?
Please don't keep repeating the same misinformation that the #FossilFuelLobby have been using for years.
This is the #ClimateEmergency let's make it easy to leave the car behind.
Thanks
It's cigarettes all over again but now it's the entire planet choking to death wth COPD and lung cancer. #FossilFuelLobby
