Plastic is another way oil and gas keep people hooked and paying.
The war on Iran sent that bill soaring, right down to food and medical supplies.
Governments must stand up to fossil fuel interests and deliver a Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production.

Chris Minns says activists shouldn’t get ‘overexcited’ about ‘technical’ landmark coalmine decision
By Lisa Cox and Penry Buckley
High court judgment blocking Mount Pleasant mine expansion will not affect state regulation, NSW premier says

Zu Porsches neuer Strategie, mit weniger Elektro:
Zitate:
"Ein sportlicher Kavaliersstart ist auch in bewohnten Gebieten möglich, ohne gleich in den Verdacht eines ruhestörenden Autoproleten zu geraten. Doch diese Erkenntnisse setzen sich in der Porsche-Käuferschaft nur langsam durch."
"Solange die Kunden ihre automobile Sozialisation in Sachen Verbrenner-Sound nicht hinter sich lassen, hat der Elektromotor im Sportwagen keine Chance. "
Climate litigation
The climate harms of fossil fuels can no longer legally be ignored.
"Australia’s highest court has just delivered its first-ever decision in a climate case. And it could sour the economic argument for developing new coal and gas projects in New South Wales, and possibly Australia."
"Climate litigation involves taking governments or companies – and occasionally individuals – to court in a bid to hold them responsible for climate harms.Climate litigation is used because a court can legally require governments and companies to act, in a way that community opposition or political pressure can’t. It is particularly effective where government regulation is slow, weak or missing altogether."
"Community groups now have a clear, High Court-endorsed basis to challenge approvals where authorities haven’t properly assessed a project’s full carbon footprint".
"And last year, the International Court of Justice found countries are legally required to assess the effects of fossil fuel projects, both in their own jurisdictions and overseas." >>

"Prior to colonisation “this was a cared for and managed landscape."
* "‘Catastrophic wildfire loop’ after colonisation left parts of Australia more at risk from bushfires, study finds. Researchers found the shift from open woodland to dense forest after 1788 led to more intense fires, consistent with loss of cultural burning practices." >>

Taxpayers covered lease payments for hundreds of oil and gas companies in 2025.
2010- 2024, Crown collections recouped less than 1% of these funds from oil and gas .
Around 480 oil and gas companies were named in payment orders issued by the tribunal in 2025. The 50 highest-owing companies are responsible for about 60 per cent of the total debt to landowners recorded last year, according to data from tribunal decisions.

New Documents Add to Evidence in Climate Deception Case Against ExxonMobil
Court filings by the Massachusetts attorney general’s office include previously undisclosed documents, revealing new details about internal deliberations at the oil giant.
The release of the documents comes at a pivotal time for the oil industry and for efforts to hold it accountable for its role fueling climate change.

#Webinar -> Drilling Down on Cancer: Mapping Fracking’s Impact on Community Health.
Co-hosted by CAPE Nova Scotia & CAPE New Brunswick.
When residents living near oil and gas developments raise alarms about rising cancer rates in their neighbourhoods, their concerns are too often sidelined by industry and governments that frequently write off local cancer spikes as "statistically insignificant."
Join CAPE NS and CAPE NB for an informative webinar with environmental health researcher Dr. Lauren Minsky, who developed the People's #Cancer Incidence Screening Tool ( #PCIST ).
October 7, 2026 at 7:00 - 8:15pm AT
(6:00 - 7:15pm ET | 4:00 - 5:15pm MT | 3:00 - 4:15pm PT) - Online (Zoom).

"A Hunter Valley community group has won Australia’s first high court case to consider climate change, in a ruling advocates say sets a binding national precedent for fossil fuel projects in New South Wales.
In a landmark judgment, the nation’s highest court ruled that the approval of MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant coalmine expansion in Muswellbrook was invalid."

Poland’s ‘solidarity’ push for EU energy resilience in face of Russian aggression

The Australian High Court has **effectively** noted that as we all breathe the same air, emissions from BURNING coal **anyplace** (on Earth) need to be taken into account when assessing an Environmental Impact Statement.
It appears *local* is still a part of the earths biosphere.
This aligns well with other jurisdictions noting that skipping through legal loopholes does not substantively alter effects on the planets shared atmosphere...
You know like the way any actual breathing humans might easily notice ...
""
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion in July 2025 that put accountability for climate-related harm onto coal and other fossil fuel producers at the point of extraction.
"We cannot dig up coal, ship it overseas, watch it drive climate change, and then pretend the consequences have nothing to do with us and won't be felt by us,"

In Aberdeen, the slow twilight of North Sea oil and gas.
The British capital of black gold stands at the centre of the United Kingdom's heated debates over how quickly to move away from fossil fuels.
The Scottish city is eagerly awaiting a potential green light from the government to begin developing two new fields, one oil and the other gas.
