  5. “four companies that dominate oilsands production — Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus, Imperial Oil and Suncor — are close to three-quarters foreign-owned…these companies account for more than 80 per cent of oilsands production.”

  10. theguardian.com/business/2026/. WHY is this being permitted? Would we allow drug-pushers to #advertise their wares freely? Yet #fossilfuels are just as #lethal, to #humans, to non-human #animals, to #nature, & to the #planet. #Protesters against the #Fossilfuel #companies get locked up, but their #directors make millions, as do their #shareholders, the companies are heavily #subsidised, & make enormous #profits.

  11. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "Some of the #motivations for the #Trump administration’s pro-carbon, anti-green #policy postures have to do with cold, hard #cash. #Fossilfuel #companies have given a staggering amount to Trump over the past several years... But part of the Trump’s love of #fossilfuels - & his accompanying hostility to #Climatechange #mitigation, #green #initiatives, & #nature #conservation - might be less #transactional than #libidinal."

  12. FOSSIL FUELS RECEIVE FOUR TIMES MORE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT THAN RENEWABLES

    A new report from WWF-Australia reveals that Australian governments spend $20.1 billion annually supporting fossil fuels - four times more than renewables. Discover how this dual energy export strategy risks a $70 billion economic loss by 2035 and what steps are needed to secure a clean energy future.

  13. CW: NZ National - fossil fuels are the future

    When Canadian company Methenex announced they were leaving NZ, logical people assumed that was the end of National's proposed LNG terminal. After all, Methenex uses 40-50% of NZ's total gas supply so shortages will no longer be an issue.

    But no. Simeon Brown says National intends to sneakily sign the contract after parliament has risen for the election. These fossils with their backward thinking will add a massive bill (around $2.7b incl financing) onto NZ taxpayers for the next 15 years for a terminal that's unlikely to ever be used.

    I wonder which National Party donors stand to benefit from this white elephant project?

    Talk about dirty politics.

  21. Hmm. @Philsturgeon. This ban on advertising #fossilFuels etc is of course a step in the right direction.

    But what I'd really like to see is ban advertising in public spaces. No ads on billboards, on bus shelters, on buses etc. Stop fecking bombarding us!

  22. I'm supposed to be investing for something called retirement (though I think even that is a silly, unachievable dream) yet I'm doing it so half heartedly because, well, I feel so jaded and cynical about what any investment (even in so-called green investments) is really perpetuating. Companies invest in other companies so even if I buy stocks in companies that I believe in, what companies are *they* investing in, and so on.

    So, friends, what's your solution to investing for the future while not investing in shitty things like LNG tankers and unbearable labour standards and the list goes on? Help me out here.
