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.
Again.

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.

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?

A quick check of the #UK #news reveals:
1) Reform UK is run by devious bastards, bankrolled by equally devious #BigOil
2) The Orange Shitgibbon is telling lies
3) Labour backtracks on another environmental commitment
4) Some hypocrite is criticising right wing policy via #xitter , #meta , #yt etc etc (only because of the reach it affords them)
5) Some AI willy-measuring story involving billions of £/$ in profit
I haven't looked yet, but am I warm? The fucking planet certainly is.

Does clearing forests in places like #Papua #Indonesia, or clearing grasslands in #Cerrado #Brazil actually help create “sustainable” transport fuel? The ecological consequences often outweigh any tailpipe emission savings. For Semafor, I explore the massive risks and hidden costs of #BigOil’s aggressive pivot to #Biofuels.

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.
by Eloise Goldsmith, Jun 19, 2025
"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.

From @TheBreach
While he was on the campaign trail, #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney said he’d stand up to Donald Trump.
Instead, he’s using the U.S. president’s trade war as an excuse for a rapid-fire #rightwing agenda that would make Stephen Harper blush.
The latest video from The Breach independent media breaks down how Carney has unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz—embracing #BigOil and #militarism , #SocialCuts & crackdowns on #refugees.

How We Got Here, a brief meandering #HistoryLesson
Almost 75 Years Ago The #USA Ran A Dirty #RegimeChange Through #Iran At Behest Of #BigOil.
To #US state dept. It seemed like it was going great , state sponsored torture via #SAVAK took care of dissidents run under the "royal decree" of the reinstated #Persian monarch was established in 1957, with assistance of the #CIA and #Mossad. Apparently by 1970s, everybody loved their colognes and discos, skirts on the female pop stars and university students... eventually they even got IKEA as the oil was flowing.
Apparently nowadays no one abroad fondly recollects what happened next .. and what went down in past 45 years...
When US diplomatic hostages were taken and the #IKEA closed, it's managers paying baksheesh to escape, even the US backed #Shah, and anyone with dough was fleeing across borders....The Shah retired to a home near some Saudi Sheik's and #RodStewart's in #BeverlyHills as a back home revolution imposed an exiled #SupremeReligiousLeader...and somehow for decades, under an #Ayatollah in the 21st century, even with massive US imposed #sanctions, or perhaps because of it, the #RevolutionaryGuard leadership benefit by routing billions of dollars into their coffers by controlling thru force, the country's graft, aid, and economic exports. The dissidents still disappear even if perhaps public protest is occasionally allowed in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
They are the last of the #MiddleEast stalwarts refusing to bend to western #BloodForOil imposed Imperialism, while neighbors and rivals with formerly strong leaders like Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya have been burnt to crisp shells of former selves.
Now the billionaire bad boy US President is threatening to nuke them...or not.

ICYMI - From 2011: Secret memos expose link between #BigOil firms and invasion of #Iraq
Paul Bignell, Tuesday 19 April 2011
"Five months before the March 2003 invasion, Baroness Symons, then the Trade Minister, told #BP that the Government believed British energy firms should be given a share of Iraq's enormous oil and gas reserves as a reward for #TonyBlair's military commitment to US plans for regime change.
"The papers show that Lady Symons agreed to lobby the Bush administration on BP's behalf because the oil giant feared it was being 'locked out' of deals that Washington was quietly striking with US, French and Russian governments and their energy firms.
"Minutes of a meeting with BP, #Shell and BG (formerly #BritishGas) on 31 October 2002 read: 'Baroness Symons agreed that it would be difficult to justify British companies losing out in Iraq in that way if the UK had itself been a conspicuous supporter of the US government throughout the crisis.'
"The minister then promised to "report back to the companies before Christmas" on her lobbying efforts.
"The Foreign Office invited BP in on 6 November 2002 to talk about opportunities in Iraq 'post #RegimeChange'. Its minutes state: "Iraq is the big oil prospect. BP is desperate to get in there and anxious that political deals should not deny them the opportunity.'
"After another meeting, this one in October 2002, the Foreign Office's Middle East director at the time, Edward Chaplin, noted: 'Shell and BP could not afford not to have a stake in [Iraq] for the sake of their long-term future... We were determined to get a fair slice of the action for UK companies in a post-Saddam Iraq."'

In the "When will we ever learn" category. There is precious little you can trust that comes out of the mouths of #BigOil. And since the penalties for non-compliance are trivial compared to the profits of non-compliance, and there is no personal liability for the C-suite, there is no reason for them to do better.

#BigOil firms knew of dire effects of #FossilFuels as early as 1950s, memos show
Newly unearthed documents contain warning from head of #AirPollutionFoundation, founded in 1953 by oil interests
Dharna Noor
Tue 12 Nov 2024 10.00 EST"Major oil companies, including #Shell and precursors to energy giants #Chevron, #ExxonMobil and #BP, were alerted about the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents show.
The warning, from the head of an industry-created group known as the Air Pollution Foundation, was revealed by Climate Investigations Center and published Tuesday by the climate website DeSmog. It represents what may be the earliest instance of big oil being informed of the potentially dire consequences of its products.
"'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels,' said Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center who uncovered the historic memos. 'Now we have evidence they were doing this way back in the 50s during these really early attempts to crack down on sources of pollution.'"
