  1. As if we don’t have enough #Grifters making a pile on #Australia ‘s slack #TaxRevenue from #GasExports here is another one to add to that pile:

    “Amid renewed debate over whether Australia is getting enough tax from its gas exports, an investigation by the ABC shows how one LNG producer uses Singapore to help boost its profits.

    That company is Shell, the global oil and gas super major, which is the world’s largest trader of the fuel.

    Over the eight years to 2024, Shell’s LNG trading and marketing arm in Singapore made billions of dollars in profit. And it did so by buying LNG from producer countries such as Australia before on-selling the gas at a significant mark-up.”

    I wonder how many more #FossilFuel #TaxEvasionSchemes are operating that we don’t know about. Wake up #AlboPM we’re all being had here!

  6. (2) Note the #fossilfuel “disposable” #plastics of over-fishing industry and product packaging begets the “trillion+ pieces” of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch #GPGP

    (3) Burning plastic creates toxic #dioxin
    But with no trees for fuel the poorest on the planet are shamed for burning plastic to cook food.

    #MAGA = Make #Amatil (Coca-Cola) Great - Pacific Garbage Patch - Again ?

    Neue #Gaskraftwerke für den ungebremsten #KI-Hype und #Rechenzentren-Wahn sind völlig unterschätztes Problem. Man braucht dabei aber gar nicht nur auf den #EU-Rahmen verweisen, wie es @chrisstoecker eindrücklich macht. Auch hierzulande könnte das soeben in Überarbeitung befindliche #Energieeffizienzgesetz #EnEfG neuen #FossilFuel-Kraftwerken via fortschrittlichen #Mindeststandards und #ErneuerbareEnergie-Vorgaben Grenzen setzen. Etliche Verbände haben die EnEfG-Novelle kommentiert, z.B. @algorithmwatch (🔗 algorithmwatch.org/de/stellung). #lessismore #Effizienzwende #EnergieverbrauchRunter

  12. @WideEyedCurious What - by #geoengineering? No thanks very much. How about reducing, then eliminating, the extraction & burning of #fossilfuels, & ending the #destruction of #forests & #wetlands? Or is that just too simple & straightforward, & too liable to upset #fossilfuel #companies & their #wealthy #shareholders?

  14. theguardian.com/business/2026/. It's not "despite", it's "because", @guardian. The #fossilfuel firms are benefitting from the high #prices of #oil & #LNG, caused by the #US & #Israeli #war against #Iran. One might even suspect the war was being conducted just so they can make even fatter #profits, just confirming that #human #life - including the lives of #children - matters far, far less than they do, @ZackPolanski.

  19. Who bought how much #russian #fossilfuel in April and this way supported #genocide of #ukrainians and made their countries dependent on a whim of #russia.
    I just don't understand why #Brazil needs #oil from all the way across the ocean, doesn't it have enough of its own oil?

    #EU is nr.1 importer of russian #gas and #France greets it warmly every day

    How can Ukraine’s allies tighten the screws?

  23. theguardian.com/business/2026/. #CCS projects are hardly "green" in the first place, & much of what passed for BP's "green agenda" was mere #greenwashing. It is a #fossilfuel firm, dedicated to wrecking the #planet & screwing the #climate!

  24. #Renewables reached nearly 50% of global #electricity capacity last year
    But #fossilfuel additions and #AI-era power demand still muddy the #climate math
    International Renewable Energy Agency's 2026 Renewable Capacity Statistics report, found renewables dominated new power additions, accounting for 85.6% of global capacity expansion. #Solar, in turn, was the dominant renewable technology, accounting for nearly three-quarters of last year's renewable capacity additions.

  30. Depending on how you like your eggs in the morning somewhere between 25% & 40% of #MarkCarney 's major projects are #FossilFuel related so when he talks about selling off OUR Canadian assets for 'redeployment' it's reasonable to assume yet more of OUR MONEY ends up filling #BigOil's pockets #cdnpoli

    "With about 30,000 PALM workers in Australia as of October, that equates to about 30 deaths per 100,000 people — more than six times the national average of 4.8 per 100,000."
