@CharlieMcHenry No, #bigoil shares value is far more important.

"Oil has dominated our lives for the last century. It has given us warmth, progress, and life-threatening pollution. It has been a gift and it is now a threat. It has started wars, ended wars, and infiltrated governments — in some cases, effectively become the government." This powerful novella is a must read.

Take down #BigOil & #BigTech. Down to the ground. May #Solar rule. The universe knows what it is doing. Have you thought about the fact that almost every #watt of #energy you have experienced is legacy solar (oil) or direct solar energy? #CleanEnergy #WindPower #SolarEverything

"The twilight of #oil is upon us and it is fighting to survive, even as we are ourselves fight to survive the #climatecrisis exacerbated by our dependence on it." A good read in these times of separation talk within the #Alberta #petrostate. https://www.cbc.ca/books/on-oil-by-don-gillmor-1.7475535

"How Florida quietly removed climate change content from textbooks
Publishers acceded to state requests watering down information on climate change’s impact, a WUSF/Hechinger Report investigation finds. Now the state has turned to updating its science standards.
Had Florida’s high school marine biology students read the original draft of their textbook, they would have learned about research that found climate change is killing at least 150,000 people per year, and another 1 degree Celsius of warming would double that.
Instead, they learned that 'human health will also be affected by the increase in CO2 and another 1 degree Celsius will further increase the impact.'
In another spot in McGraw Hill’s Marine Science book, 'climate change” was altered to “changes in the environment.' An environmental science textbook by publisher Cengage removed the word 'polluting' in front of 'coal burning power plants.' And it cut a reference to students at the University of Washington in Seattle voting to pay higher fees to help the school buy electricity from renewable energy sources.
These count among the changes that Florida education officials asked science textbook publishers to make in the summer of 2024 that either watered down or eliminated content about the climate crisis, an investigation by WUSF and The Hechinger Report has found."

@harld Nog sterker, die overheden gaan gewoon door door jaarlijks 40 miljard #fossielebrandstofsubsidies op het #bigoil vuur te gooien. Burn in hell burgers lijken ze te denken.

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!
#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026
No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!
"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.
"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.
Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to the offices of Sen. Collins, Sen. King, and Rep. Pingree. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!
Lewiston
When: 4 PM
Where: Dufresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon Street, Lewiston
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!

Trump also suggested a deal could revive Keystone XL, a pipeline project that would have moved oil from Alberta to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. His online post on Tuesday said the venture, cancelled by his predecessor Joe Biden in 2021, "may be awoken from the grave!"

You want to talk about #MarkCarney & his #Values, it can't be made any clearer than this. Ramping up #BigOil and crippling our ability to detect & defend against #Wildfire and other climate disasters in this day & age tells you everything you need to know about the man. #cdnpoli #ClimateChange

Peer-Reviewed Study Exposes How #BigTech and #BigOil Work ‘Hand-in-Glove’ to Profit Off #AI
“New research confirms: AI, on sum, is a loser for #GlobalClimate.”
by Jessica Corbett
Aug 11, 2026Excerpt: "Welcoming the study, Clara Vondrich, senior policy counsel for the Climate Program at the watchdog group #PubliCitizen, said that 'this research exposes #BigTech as a lead accomplice to the #FossilFuel industry in ways we never imagined. It’s bad enough that communities are being hammered by rising energy bills as data centers gobble up insane amounts of fossil fuel power, but now we see that those emissions are just a fraction of the #ClimateHarms Big Tech is responsible for.'
" 'To be clear, oil companies are not simply using publicly available AI tools: Big Tech is entering into bilateral contracts with oil companies, and selling them proprietary tools specifically designed for the purpose of accelerating oil production,' Vondrich stressed. “You can’t make this up: Big Tech companies, self-avowed climate champs for decades, are working hand-in-glove with Big Oil to find, dig, and burn more fossil fuels to make a buck.”
" 'AI’s promise as a tool for advancing solutions to the #ClimateCrisis is fading as a cruel reality takes shape: Big tech companies are selling AI to the fossil fuel industry to accelerate our demise so they can turn a profit,' she added. 'These are the perverse outcomes resulting from our rigged market economy: access to cutting-edge AI goes to the highest bidder and Big Oil has some of the deepest pockets in the world. Meanwhile the externalities—runaway climate change manifesting this summer as historic #HeatDomes and fires—are never counted, except as body counts. Today, Big Tech is Big Oil’s number one accomplice.' "

#Burnham will no doubt be hoping #Farage and #CountBinface eat up all the column inches again today, while he hides from scrutiny about #ClimateAction.
But people won’t ignore the smoke in the air, the trains not safe to run and the nurses fainting in the hospitals. And they know this is not going away. The government is ignoring society to benefit #BigOil. It’s plain to see.
