The climate needs a fair, fast and funded fossil fuel phase-out, so why did EU governments roll out the red carpet for the oil and gas industry at #COP30? Our take on this year's UN climate talks and what went down. #KickBigPollutersOut #FossilFreePolitics corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/c...

BREAKING: EU Commission President @[email protected] says “We are not fighting fossil fuels, we are fighting the emissions from fossil fuels” She is parroting oil&gas industry lines, pushing unproven costly technologies like CCS + CO2 removals to keep using fossil fuels. #FossilFreePolitics

In 🇩🇪 Germany and 🇦🇹 Austria, the governments also told @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social national groups that they wouldn't bring any fossil fuel lobbyists to #COP30 - and kept their word. Chapeau #FossilFreePolitics #KickBigPollutersOut @lobbycontrol.bsky.social @global2000.bsky.social

EU govts brought at least 113 fossil fuel lobbyists to #COP29 strike new gas deals and secure new supplies!
See new research from Fossil Free Politics, based on #KickBigPollutersOut 's analysis:
https://fossilfreepolitics.org/news/europe-brings-gas-lobbyists-to-cop29-to-strike-deals/
How can #COP29 tackle the climate crisis when the oil & gas industry is in Baku striking deals to keep burning fossil fuels?
We need a firewall around UN & EU climate decision-making to protect it from lobbyists.

🔥 ⛔️ Schluss mit der bevorzugten Behandlung der fossilen Industrie bei Klimaverhandlungen! Es ist Zeit, eine klare #Brandmauer zwischen Politik und fossilen Interessen zu errichten, um unsere Zukunft zu schützen. #Klimagerechtigkeit #NoFossilLobby
✍️ https://action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-08-Fossil-Fuel-Firewall-petition-DE
Zwischen Dezember 2019 und Mai 2022 hat die EU-Kommission unter Ursula von der Leyen fast täglich Meetings mit der fossilen Brennstoffindustrie geführt – insgesamt 500 Treffen! #Lobbyismus #Klimakrise
Obwohl die Bekämpfung des Klimawandels Priorität haben sollte, sitzen Öl-, Gas- und Kohlekonzerne im Fahrer*innensitz der EU-Politik. Das Ergebnis? Eine Politik, die die Interessen der Fossilwirtschaft zementiert. #Greenwashing
Besonders auffällig: Die plötzliche Begeisterung für Wasserstoff, vor allem den „grünen“ H2. Doch ein Großteil davon wird nach wie vor aus Gas gewonnen – eine clevere Strategie der fossilen Lobby. #Wasserstoff #FakeSolutions
👉 https://friendsoftheearth.eu/news/why-hydrogen-bubble-burst-europes-face/
Nach dem Einmarsch Russlands in die Ukraine wandte sich von der Leyen an genau die Unternehmen, die Europas Abhängigkeit von russischem Gas verursacht haben. Diese sollen nun Lösungen liefern? Ironisch und gefährlich. #Energiewende
👉 https://corporateeurope.org/en/2022/10/fuelling-cost-living-crisis
Die Macht der fossilen Lobby zeigt sich auch in der Förderung von „Partnerschaften“ wie dem Wasserstoff-Programm. Milliarden öffentlicher Gelder fließen in die Taschen von Öl- und Gasriesen – auf Kosten echter erneuerbarer Lösungen. #Energiekrise
Wir brauchen dringend eine Trennung zwischen fossilen Interessen und der Politik. Klimapolitik darf nicht länger durch Konzerne diktiert werden, die Profite über das Gemeinwohl stellen. #FossilFreePolitics #Klimagerechtigkeit

☠️🌱#COP28's considering doubling global H2 production by 2030, but @IEA data has shown that 99% of H2 is made of fossil-fuels, emitting more CO2 than the aviation industry. Only 0.1% is #greenH2.

Hoekstra, it's time to disclose any past fossil fuel ties before representing the EU at #COP28 this week.
Over a month ago, the European Parliament raised concerns and urged Hoekstra to share his clients at #McKinsey .
Today #FossilFreePolitics allies join the call. We must ensure transparency

"kick oily money out of politics"
said Greta Thunberg today in London before getting arrested while blocking the entrance of a luxury hotel where oil industry executives (including the CEOs of Shell and Total) were to meet politicians.
If we are to survive the climate crisis, it is essential that the political power of the fossil fuels industry is *strictly* regulated.

Hoekstra's CV:
🔥 Former Shell employee
🔥 Over 3.4 billion given to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
🔥 Actively weakened dutch gov obligations on nitrogen emissions
🔥 Parliamentary inquiry after he pushed for further gas and oil in NL and rebuffed compensation to impacted householdsWe can not trust this man to deliver the climate action we direly need.
