Yes! Fossil fuel industries, companies & workers in them can be part of solutions: a good reminder!: “we can use their expertise in offshore work for setting up offshore wind. And we can use their drilling + fracking expertise in geothermal drilling [without the chemicals] + water drilling as well. And there are workers already transferring to these other sectors of the economy. "Hope is that virtue by which we take responsibility for the future."”It could be so good to see these different choices taken & rewarded. Fossil fuel companies don’t have to be ‘the bad guys’. They have so much capacity to be good guys. Sometimes I think they receive terribly poor advice that artificially restricts & limits their options when they could be powering away in new industries that we’d love them to lead.

Many people can't seem to grasp that when you alter one thing in a global ecosystem, it affects other things in that same ecosystem, causing more and more damage..
"Big increases in wildfires and heatwaves supercharged by the climate crisis are hindering improvements to air quality around the world, UN experts have said.
Regions that had recorded a fall in pollution emitted by cars and industrial sites are facing new threats to air quality because of exposure to smoke from wildfires, according to a new report, while rising temperatures caused by intense heatwaves are causing a surge in ground-level ozone.
In turn, the pollution generated by these climate-linked events is itself contributing to climate breakdown, creating a feedback loop that risks dragging the world deeper into environmental catastrophe."

I’m unsure that Amy Remeikis’ description of the #Labor party’s strategic thinking in the recent by-election is 100% on point;
“That Labor chose a staffer-turned-gas lobbyist as its candidate in Secret Harbour showed more than any focus group that the government has not realised where the public is at.
Labor followed its old model of choosing candidates, because that’s how it is done. It forgets that the public is not as obsessed with the gas industry as it is – it assumes that, because it supports gas, the public does and being connected with the gas industry is enough to convince people the candidate is sensible. This was the same arrogance that saw Labor parachute Kristina Keneally into the seat of Fowler in 2019, only to see the backlash as an anomaly and not a shifting tide.”
Still, AMy’s article presents an arguably valid analysis. The fact remains that domestically, our federal govt is either ignoring or failing to read the room (I’ve said that much before in my political toots). I predict that this lacuna will be #AlboPM’s undoing as a leader of the #PartyWhichHasLostItsWay.
The Q. is, if I read Amy’s article correctly, why is #AlboPM selectively blind to majority public opinion on domestic issues where he can exert the most control as opposed to international affairs. Might he be looking to gain international recognition… in venal pursuit of a personal *legacy*?

"Australia’s first new oil refinery in 60 years could be built in Western Australia under the Albanese government’s long-term strategy to shield the country from future global oil shocks." While ensuring climate change super-heats the environment during the next 5-10yrs and ends us all..

When you hear the prime minister parroting gas industry talking points rather than quoting Treasury, ATO or even his own department's figures, you know you're being played. #australia #ausgov #auspol #anthonyalbanese #albappeasey #gastax #fail #australianlaborparty #fossilfuellobby https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/apr/24/labor-albanese-gas-tax-caving-david-pocock-fuel-supply

To enrich a few while harming the rest of us
"Rollback of government’s ability to limit climate-heating pollution from vehicles will make families ‘sicker and less safe’..Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’."
"Repealing the Endangerment Finding takes Orwellian governance to new heights and invites enormous damage to people and property around the world."
"The final rule removes the government’s ability to impose requirements to track, report and limit climate-heating pollution from cars and trucks. Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the US."
“If this reckless decision survives legal challenges, it will lead to more deadly wildfires, more extreme heat deaths, more climate-driven floods and droughts, and greater threats to communities nationwide – all while the EPA dismisses the overwhelming science that has protected public health for decades.'

While we are inundated by news about outrageous behaviors of the US Regime's reckless cabinet clowns and their chief every day, let's not forget that the ultimate goal of Project2025 is to destroy #Democracy to enable the #FossilFuelIndustry to continue with their exploitative and toxic business practices that inevitably lead to the total pollution and likely destruction of our planet.
Apparently, ruling over the ruins of Earth is more important than keeping it habitable...Vote as if your and the lives of your children depended on it!

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement
An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and #HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

"In a recent piece, #BrettChristophers describes the global shift from active policymaking to acceptance and surrender. He joins Tom to discuss the roles of Europe, the US and China in #climateChange, why solutions like ‘carbon capture’ are futile and where there’s room for cautious optimism."
Have we surrendered to #climateBreakdown?

@urlyman #CarbonCaptureAndStorage which #Labour, like everyone else, knows fine well is a #GreenWashing scam by the #FossilFuelLobby which cannot work, will not work, and isn't actually even intended to work.
It's just a channel to funnel even more public money to some more of Labour's donors.

Awesome sting operation.
"The host country is also facing accusations that it is using the climate talks for business, after the head of the talks, Elnur Soltanov, was caught in a secret recording promoting oil and gas deals. That sting was organized by the group Global Witness, which put forward a fake investor."

This is what COP has devolved into: summits hosted by petrostates, empty promises and contracts to burn more fossil fuels.
This is not the first time that fossil fuel companies tried to sign deals with each other at COP.
Helena Horton: #Cop29 CEO filmed agreeing to facilitate fossil fuel deals at climate summit: Elnur Soltanov recorded speaking with fake oil and gas group that asked for deals in exchange for sponsoring talks

This city just made it illegal to advertise #SUVs. Here’s why. #Edinburgh became the latest European capital city to ban ads for #aviation, SUVs, and more.
"Last month this Scottish city — filled with medieval spires and shadowed by the looming castle on the hill said to have inspired the Harry Potter books — made a startlingly modern decision. Edinburgh’s city council voted to ban fossil fuel advertisements on city property, undermining the ability of not only oil companies, but also car manufacturers, airlines and cruise ships, to promote their products. The ban targeted arms manufacturers as well."

Dharna Noor: Far-right fossil fuel company allies pressure US supreme court to shield firms in unprecedented campaign: Groups linked to billionaire Leonard Leo, who seems to have ties to Chevron, are pressing the court to intervene in lawsuits that could cost billions
"Far-right fossil fuel allies have launched a stunning and unprecedented campaign pressuring the supreme court to shield fossil fuel companies from litigation that could cost them billions of dollars.
Some of the groups behind the campaign have ties to Leonard Leo, the architect of the rightwing takeover of the supreme court who helped select Trump’s supreme court nominees. Leo also appears to have ties to Chevron, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit."

“We know that carbon emissions are the root cause of environmental destabilisation. They are a key driver of increasingly extreme weather patterns, food price inflation, and water shortages.
So fossil fuel enablers should be made pariahs, not policymakers in the highest levels of government”

Same happening across the pond here in the UK.
Conservatives going full on anti #ClimateCrisis mitigation and giving taxpayers money away to the fossil fuel co.s
Liberals are farting about in the middle ground, while still enabling #FossilFuelLobby & empty pledges
Unfortunately in our 2 party system is tough to get #GreenParty in power
