What a bunch of hypocrites (#Labor #LNP parties)… let’s all be anti-nuclear wars but bugger the non proliferation treay (#NPT) we’ve committed to if there’s a commercial deal to be made. There’s a reason why #India is not an NFT signatory and it’s not because it doesn’t like #Inspections of nuclear facilities. It has to do with #Pakistan (also no a signatory) and the nuclear threat it represents. And even if it is likely that India will abide by its commitment, it just frees up the uranium they get from other sources from non-weapons programmes to be diverted to military use. So, yes, one way or another, #Australia will contribute to weaponised uranium in India. Well done ! Bunch of #NeoLiberal lapdogs. No doubt the #MiningSector Lobby (and #Gina?) has the govt’s ear.

Seems like #Oiligarchy has won the hearts of #Albertan #MAGA-types. If anything, there should be #LandBack to #Alberta's #FirstNations, and colonizer descendants will just have to deal with it!!!

'Planet Wreckers': 4 Rich Nations Plotting Nearly 70% of New Oil and Gas Over Next Decade | Common Dreams

This is not just hypocrisy," said one climate campaigner. "It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis."

"Four wealthy nations—the #UnitedStates, #Canada, #Norway, and #Australia—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by #OilChangeInternational on Monday, the first day of the #BonnClimateChangeConference in Germany.

"Oil Change's analysis, titled #PlanetWreckers, notes that if those four #GlobalNorth nations stopped their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere, where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.

" 'A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis,' Oil Change International global policy lead Romain Ioualalen said in a statement Monday.

"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added."
