💥BREAKING!💥 Extinction Rebellion stört die Hauptversammlung der Munich RE!

Wir fordern: Stoppt die Versicherung des Klimachaos! Schluss mit der Unterstützung für fossile Brennstoffe! #MunichRe #ActNow #ClimateJustice #StopFossilFuels

📢 "Die Munich RE versäumt es, Verantwortung für ihren zerstörerischen Einfluss auf den Planeten zu übernehmen", so XR. "Kein Geld mehr für Gas & Kohle! Der geplante #Kohleausstieg 2040 ist viel zu spät!" #EndFossilFuels #InsureOurFuture

🤯 Während der Chef-Klimatologe der Munich RE vor Klimakatastrophe warnt, finanziert & versichert das Unternehmen weiterhin fossile Projekte. Heuchelei pur! #OilyMoneyOut #EndFossilFuelsNow

🌍💡🔥 #ClimateJustice NOW! Experts are proposing a groundbreaking approach: trying fossil fuel firms for homicide over climate-related deaths. The devastating impact of their greed is no longer a debate—it's a lethal reality. 🚫💀 Each year, extreme weather claims 5 million lives, with countless others suffering from hunger, disease, and the wrath of nature. Yet, these companies have knowingly fueled the crisis, prioritizing profit over people and planet. 🌱💔

It's time to redefine accountability. Legal minds across the U.S. are rallying behind the idea that these corporations should face the consequences of their actions in court. This isn't just about legal theory; it's about moral obligation and the urgent need for systemic change. 💼👨‍⚖️✊

We stand at a crossroads: continue to let greed dictate our future or demand justice for millions affected. Let's support the shift towards holding the real culprits accountable and pave the way for a sustainable, equitable world. 🌎💚🤝 #ActNow #ClimateCrisis #OilyMoneyOut #StopFossilFuels

🌍 Climate Alert! 🌱 Scientists from Tufts University have unveiled a critical yet overlooked aspect of climate change: our soil. Acting as a massive carbon reservoir, holding 80% of Earth's carbon, soil becomes a significant source of greenhouse gases as it cracks and breaks down during droughts. This process, largely unaccounted for in climate models, could amplify climate change effects beyond current predictions. It's not just about emissions from cars or industries; the ground beneath us plays a pivotal role too. As droughts worsen, the release of carbon dioxide and other gases from the soil could accelerate, pushing us towards tipping points with severe and permanent climate shifts. Time to rethink sustainability and land use to protect our planet's future! 🌿 #ClimateCrisis #StopFossilFuels #JustStopOil #OilyMoneyOut #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction

Shocking yet unsurprising: New research unveils that the oil industry has been obstructing state support for green technology since the '60s.

While pocketing hefty subsidies, they've fought against solar panels, electric cars, and other low-carbon tech. This hypocrisy highlights a desperate attempt to maintain market dominance, ignoring the urgent need for climate action.

Despite their recent green ventures, oil companies invest a mere 1% in clean energy. It's time to demand real change and support policies that truly favor our planet.

HSBC: Bank's pre-tax profits soar fuelled by high interest rates https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68355809

Truss crashes economy.
BoE raises interest rates.
Banks make unearned profit.
Shareholders ‘rewarded’ with high dividend.

& lots left over for HSBC’s oily investments.

‘New conservatism’ in a nutshell.

Trickle down economics? Nope. Flood up economics, while millions struggle with heating & eating.

Can we see what this is yet?

‘Litigation terrorism’: the obscure tool that corporations are using against green laws https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/12/litigation-terrorism-how-corporations-are-winning-billions-from-governments?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

ISDS ensures O&G companies get their cake and eat it. Taking on unjustifiable projects has literally *no* risk exposure from licence revocation. Just take the relevant State to court, sue their asses and bosh, $$$ drops straight to the bottom line. Win win.

Meantime, humanity and the planet lose lose.

Surely this can’t continue?

@HelenG

Yay for the #OilyMoneyOut Five!

I was there, and honestly didn't know why they were arrested. The big problem is that justice still isn't done.
A) They were arrested in the first place, undermining the #climateaction
B) At least one banner observed that some of those inside were corrupting democracy and causing unnecessary deaths , and should themselves face justice. Sadly, that's likely a long time coming. #ecocide #NoPlanetB

Power shift Africa director Mohamed Adow succinctly captures why the Saudi ‘oil sustainability programme’ is “repulsive”.

Let’s keep colonising petrostate #OilyMoneyOut of Africa and #MakePollutersPay for climate adaption AND post-FF regional development.

HSBC down: Customers furious over ongoing bank outages https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67514068

Dear HSBC,

Please continue to break down. Often.

That way people will leave the worst UK bank for ongoing fossil fuel investment. You really don’t deserve customers.

Banks pumped more than $150bn in to companies running ‘carbon bomb’ projects in 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/31/banks-pumped-more-than-150bn-in-to-companies-running-carbon-bomb-projects-in-2022?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

But Rish! thinks it’s right to uncap UK banker bonuses so we get even stronger incentives and profitability currents to swim against.

Capitalism and its doom-laden focus on profit above everything else truly bewilders me. It will destroy us all unless we break it.

Stop (Re)insuring Climate Chaos! Heute haben wir gemeinsam mit anderen Aktivisten gegen das internationale Treffen der Rückversicherer protestiert. Wir besetzten dazu das Dach und blockierten den Eingang.

Mit dieser Aktion prangern wir an, dass zahlreiche Versicherungsunternehmen weiterhin Projekte im Bereich Kohle, Öl u. Gas versichern und somit zur Eskalation der täglich zunehmenden #Klimakrise beitragen. Dies sehen wir als gravierende Bedrohung für die gesamte Menschheit!

Wir fordern von der Branche die sofortige Beendigung sämtlicher Rückversicherungen für fossile Projekte, sowie den schnellstmöglichen Ausstieg aus laufenden Projekten. Das muss jetzt geschehen!

Mit #Greenwashing und Lippenbekenntnissen muss endlich Schluss sein. Wir stehen kurz vor dem Scheitern des Pariser Klimaabkommens, täglich leiden Menschen unter den Folgen der #Klimakatastrophe.

“Society in the future is likely to judge companies that continue #FossilFuel investments as both immoral & as operating outside of international law. What does JP Morgan plan to do right now to avoid such a judgment?” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/19/greta-thunberg-joins-second-climate-protest-in-london-this-week #OilyMoneyOut

Day 2 of #OilyMoneyOut was a picnic in comparison (we literally had a picnic inside 52 Lime St., London home of Chinese re-insurer 'Chaucer'). The East African Crude Oil Pipleine ('EACOP') would be insanely destructive at every stage and couldn't go ahead without finance, and insurance...

OILY MONEY OUT

Greta Thunberg joined Fossil Free London, Greenpeace, and Extinction Rebellion to block entry to the Intercontinental Park Lane, London, where the Energy Intelligence Forum is being held. Dubbed the "Oily Money" conference (in reference to its former name of Oil & Money), it is the Oscars of Oil, where fossil fuel companies and government ministers congratulate each other on their mass destruction.

Your choices are shameful, sickening, genocidal

JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon warns world facing 'most dangerous time in decades' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67104734

Who is this dipshit?

Large investor in fossil fuels fails to mention climate change, one huge underlying cause of symptoms like geopolitical tension.

In decades? No, most dangerous time EVER.

He’ll be blaming it on consumers not spending enough next.

And will his shareholders see through the veil to what lies beneath?

#MakePollutersPay #OilyMoneyOut - you too JP Morgan.

Exxon reinforces support for fossil fuels with deal to buy shale giant for $60bn https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/11/exxon-buys-pioneer-natural-resources-fossil-fuels?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The brass neck of these fuckers.

Be in no doubt, these fuckers are prepared to commit genocide on a massive scale because that’s the logical consequence of the business decisions they make today.

And our political leaders stand full-square behind them because they’re incapable of conceiving a better vision for humanity on a sustainable planet.

Good. The tide is starting, slowly, to turn.
