Woke up with the #climatebreakdown doom - soon reinforced by a #FossilCapital interview on @BBCRadio4 in which some #BP boss or other explained their superior wisdom of portfolio management around #Northsea reserves. Are these presenters mad? Will someone kill them if they make the connection with #globalheating? Collusion is not obligatory, self-respect can be reclaimed even as the world burns...

@greenpeace Metric/indicator so intrinsic to building the polycrisis sure as hell won't do well out of it - one of the stupefying aspects of #FossilCapital is the notion there's some future exclusive happy land for the wealthy, once ecosystems are screwed

"For many in the carbon accounting community, these associations sit uneasily alongside the need for credible, independent and science-based climate work" - reputational damage, along with the climate violence... London's Science Museum can't afford to keep taking the money #FossilCapital

"How Venezuela stole its own oil on its own territory is something I would love JD Vance to explain in a war crimes tribunal, but the short version is imperialism plus the habit of Republican administrations of regarding the fossil fuel industry as inseparable from government and making its interests the top priority" #RebeccaSolnit - file under #FossilCapital #Venezuela

@Geri "Egypt has said that Cairo’s natural gas deal with Israel is a “purely commercial” arrangement and that there are no “political dimensions” to the deal."

Surely #MarkCarney gets #climatebreakdown - didn't he talk about 'stranded assets' when he was at #BankofEngland? #FossilCapital
"...the federal government will scrap a planned emissions cap on the oil and gas sector and drop rules on clean electricity..."

Extreme case-study in the need to #decarbonise - grim reading:
"Deputy Health Minister Alireza Raisi told state media this month that 58,975 Iranians had died as a result of breathing in PM2.5 particles during the year that ended in March. That means 161 deaths per day"

Shell and Equinor are forming a new joint venture, Adura, which will be the new owner of the Rosebank oil field.
Adura looks to be exploiting a loophole that allows Shell to write off its profits against Equinor’s tax losses.

End Fuel Poverty Coalition co-ordinator Simon Francis said: “The real emergency is that by 2027, the UK won’t even produce enough gas to heat our homes and only 14 per cent of all the gas that ever existed in the North Sea is left."
...
“Real energy security comes from backing British renewables, reforming electricity pricing and upgrading homes, not clinging to declining fossil fuels and asking the public to subsidise record industry profits.”

Describing the COP climate meeting as having become more like a “festival for the oil-producing countries”, Talia said Tuvalu is also exploring a range of alternative initiatives...
...Representatives of oil-producing countries are now attending the COP climate meetings in “big numbers”, Talia said, in order to try and “really bury our voice as small developing countries”.

@CelloMomOnCars Even if 'they' (? #FossilCapital?) manage to get #CCS to work at any meaningful scale, they'd bump into finite limits
"Fully using geologic storage for carbon removal caps the possible global temperature reduction to 0.7 °C (0.35–1.2 °C, including storage estimate and climate response uncertainty)."
Don't get distracted. #Stopfossilfuels -

The UK's Reform Party is the political arm of the fossil fuel industry: during the period 2019-2024, over 90% of Reform's funds were sourced from oil and gas investors, aviation entrepreneurs and climate science deniers

Who benefits from public funding of 'carbon capture' and 'clean hydrogen' projects? "Organizations that directly or indirectly benefit from fossil-fuel sales or combustion were responsible for 89 % of CCUS lobbying spending between 2005 and 2024. 15 organizations, led by Occidental Petroleum, Southern Company, and ExxonMobil, are responsible for 50 % of all CCUS lobbying expenditures; all 15 directly benefit from sale of fossil fuels"
