  1. The UN makes it official: 1.5°C will be breached

    Meanwhile, OPEC has no intention of turning off the taps. On the contrary: Its 2026 outlook projects oil demand continuing to rise to 124 million barrels a day by 2050, and calls for $17.7 trillion in oil investment between now and then.

    Money that should be spent on a rapid phase out of fossil fuels and preparation for the disasters we can no longer avoid

  2. Hot tip:

    You can be "committed to reducing Canada's emissions and achieving net-zero by 2050"

    ****** OR *******

    You can build another DEADLY pipeline for the #BigOil skunks

    But you can't do both

    This is the #MarkCarney government LYING to you about #ClimateChange.

  9. To keep drilling, Big Oil needs permission to dump treated fracking wastewater into rivers and onto cropland. We don’t have to give it to them.

    #BigOil #oilIndustry #fracking #ecoTerrorism #Texas #PecosRiver #AtascosaRiver #ecocide #fossilFuel

    Sometime in the next few months, Texas is set to issue its first permits letting the oil industry pour treated fracking wastewater into rivers and onto cropland.

    Five applications are currently pending, covering more than 18 million gallons of wastewater per day, all bound for the Pecos and the Atascosa Rivers. The Texas environmental regulator is also actively working on the rules that would allow oilfield waste to be sprayed on cropland.

    It may sound crazy to dump treated fracking waste on land that is used to grow food, or into waterways connected to drinking water supplies. But last month, oil and gas industry representatives gathered before the state Senate to explain why they desperately need to do exactly this.

  14. If my understanding is correct, that's #Farage and #ReformUK , the party funded by #BigOil that blames #immigrants for all of the #UK 's economic and social woes, is now blaming #climate #Activists for exposing their (presumably now more robustly vetted) party officials' willingness to deceive the public, the taxman and the parliamentary oversight committee?

    Were the immigrants too busy for this stitch-up or are they resisting by proxy on this one Nigel?

    A couple of days ago he (Farage) was blaming the 'complainants' and now apparently it's eco terrorists or the 'radical left' as the Orange Shitgibbon likes to call any group or individual with a social conscience.

    The #journalistic community to be demonised by their rhetoric next perhaps?

  30. Opeens is de #airco de kop van jut in de media. Het is volgens mij de zoveelste poging van #bigoil om de aandacht af te leiden en heel sneaky de oplossing (#electrificatie van de energievoorziening) de zwarte Piet toe te schuiven. Het zou de #dynamischestroom prijs ook nog eens opdrijven, maar die is vanavond ook weer bizar hoog, terwijl het nu aangenaam weer is met ‘s nachts temperaturen waar je lekker bij kunt slapen. Me dunkt dat het eerder te maken heeft met het feit dat gascentrales opgestart moeten worden omdat Franse kerncentrales stilgelegd worden vanwege te warm koelwater. En hoe komt dat? Airco’s? Kom nou toch. Nee, electrisch is veel efficiënter en schoner omdat er amper afvalwarmte is. En een airco warmt de atmosfeer niet op, omdat de warmte slechts verplaatst wordt en niet extra aangemaakt. Verbrandingsmotoren daarentegen dumpen 60 a 70% van de energie als warmte in de atmosfeer. En natuurlijk CO2. Het is waanzin om daarmee door te gaan. De airco is een zeer efficiëntie overlevingsstrategie tijdens een #hittegolf . In combinatie met #zonnepanelen en #thuisaccu #nulopdemeter wordt het #electriciteitsnet niet belast, maar juist ontlast. En dan die kul dat de airco rijk tegenover arm zet. Een airco is voor een huisbezitter niet duur in aanschaf en al helemaal niet in gebruik. Huisjesmelkers zou m.i. verplicht moeten worden om airco’s en zonnepanelen te installeren en dat mag wat mij betreft ook gesubsidieerd worden. Ik ben geen expert, slechts iemand die veel nadenkt over deze zaken en daaruit zijn conclusies trekt en ernaar handelt.

  31. At #Chevron’s Gates, Communities Demand #Justice and a #FossilFree Future

    #AntiChevron Day 2026 united communities fighting #extraction, #EnvironmentalRacism, and #corporate impunity across continents

    May 21, 2026 | Paul Paz y Miño

    "Nearly three decades after communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon first brought global attention to Chevron’s crimes, and 13 years after activists launched the first Anti-Chevron Day in 20 countries, the resistance continues. Chevron remains one of the most polluting companies on Earth – and one of the most determined to avoid accountability for it.

    Anti-Chevron Day

    "For the 13th year running, Anti-Chevron Day brought frontline leaders from across the globe to the shadow of Chevron’s #RichmondCA refinery, where communities gathered with anger, grief, music, ceremony, and determination to confront one of the world’s most destructive oil companies.

    "The gathering came just weeks after the historic First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, #Colombia, where Indigenous leaders and governments demanded an urgent and just transition away from the fossil fuel economy that continues to poison the territories and devastate the health of frontline communities worldwide. In Richmond, that demand felt immediate and deeply personal. It is being shaped by the people most directly harmed by extraction and pollution, and by movements building solidarity across borders.

    "Chevron must clean up its '#RainforestChernobyl' in the #EcuadorianAmazon!

    "For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people. While drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon from 1964 to 1990, it deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of #ToxicWastewater, spilled roughly 17 million gallons of #CrudeOil, and left #HazardousWaste in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor."

  39. “Devastating”: #Trump #EPA to Scrap Landmark #Climate Finding in Pro-#FossilFuel #Deregulatory Push

    #DemocracyNow, February 11, 2026

    "In a victory for the fossil fuel industry, a set of Obama-era rules that required the federal government to regulate the emissions of six #GreenhouseGases is being reversed by the Trump administration. The changes would undo the legal basis of the fight against global warming, as well as remove #industrial reporting obligations and roll back #emissions standards for cars and trucks. Environmental engineer Gretchen Goldman helped author those emission standards while working for the Department of Transportation under the Biden administration. Now as the president of the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, she says their repeal will not only increase what drivers pay at the pump but also set U.S. innovation back on the world stage. 'We’re really seeing the abdication of U.S. leadership on climate, and that has huge implications, both for our immediate ability to reduce heat-trapping emissions globally … but also in terms of our standing and contribution in the world.'
