#petrolprofits — Public Fediverse posts

#ClimateDiary read yesterday’s “How do we raise trillions of dollars to fight the climate crisis? The answer is staring us in the face” by #GordonBrown just now ( ❤️ paper version = catch up) and really would like to spread his message: we need a global #WindfallTax on #PetrolProfits. This needs to be the tangible outcome of #COP28 we should all campaign for. Put so well here by Gordon Brown. #aclimateEmergency

@rbreich absolutely agree, and the owners of capital have said that a windfall tax wouldn’t impact long term strategies. So why don’t governments go for it?! #windfalltax #excessprofits #Petrolprofits
