  6. @Sommerackerman like it or not, in a #Democracy it's the voters. Government is not doing squat about the imminent #ClimateCollapse, because it's not a winning ticket. Blaming immigrants, non-whites, non-christians is a simple platform, easy to be elected for and supported by #BillionaireGangsters, the #FossilFuelMafia, and #PetroStates, who try to destroy our democracies so their #DirtyDeeds go unpunished.

  10. Another Cop wrecked by fossil fuel interests and our leaders’ cowardice – but there is another way | Genevieve Guenther - #ClimateCrisis | #TheGuardian

    "One bright spot of #Cop30 is that #Colombia and the #Netherlands, backed by 22 nations, will independently advance a roadmap to #fossilfuelphaseout, beginning with a conference in April 2026. This conference could be a gamechanger. #UN rules require all Cop decision texts to be approved unanimously, giving the #petrostates veto power over global #climatepolitics. The creation of a fossil-fuel roadmap outside the Cop process may establish a trading bloc that could begin to sanction nations – and banks – that refuse to wind down #fossilfuels."

    Well-said @DoctorVive

    "#petrostates, led by #Russia and #Saudi Arabia, fought against #fossil fuel #phaseout and won"

    "#Trump’s alliance with Saudi Arabia, and seeming affinity for Russia, underwrites their ability to advance their own #energy interests"

    "#China acts less as a #climate leader and more as an “all of the above” energy powerhouse"

  16. @wdlindsy I have to disagree that the #OrangeFelon is a genius of any kind. He's a scammer and sociopath corrupt to the core, who is propped up by criminal billionaires and a broad coalition of antidemocratic forces. Since he has no conscience or anything resembling principles other than trying to enrich himself, he seems to be able to exploit the extreme white nationalist, Christian fascist, racist, and young #InCel misogynist's vote. They all want to believe his lies in exchange for cruelty against their "enemies".
    All bankrolled by the #FossilFuelMafia, #PetroStates, reckless corporations, tax cheating rich people, and foreign dictators, whose main goal is to weaken the US government and normalize authoritarian rule cross the world. #TheUnAmericanVotersDidThis

  17. @zwol
    Due to the specific scientific anomalies in Germany ("#SpeedLimit? Not possible due to lack of signs!", "#HeatPumps? #ElectricCars? Won't work here!", "Adjust the grid to increase the share of #RenewableEnergy? Way too expensive - we'd better start building new fossil gas fueled plants for the next 30-40 years right now and stop any incentives for solar & wind!" etc.), I'm afraid that #Germany will remain amongst the last #PetroStates :mastoflushed:

  18. @Snoro unfortunately, the unraveling of our environment is just beginning. They say, "we are all in this together", but that's a lie. We are all affected, but the #OilAndGasIndustry and #PetroStates are just nowhere to be seen and keep polluting... #StopOilNow

  19. Although this video’s title implies the main topic is plastic pollution in the oceans, it actually goes into more detail about the industry as a whole including recycling, plastics from paint, petrostates, and oil companies.

  22. Charleston gets early win in climate change lawsuit vs. ‘Big Oil’

    By Clare Fieseler [email protected]

    Jul 8, 2023

    "A federal judge has given the city of Charleston an early win in its climate change lawsuit against '#BigOil' by ruling the case will stay in #SouthCarolina, where the city wants the issue fought.

    "U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel agreed on July 5 that Charleston’s bid seeking to make #FossilFuel companies pay for #climate damages could proceed in state court, where it was initially filed.

    "City officials welcomed the decision, which some legal experts say creates a more favorable stage in arguing that the multiple #oil and #gas companies which have operated in the U.S. for decades knew of the #environmentally #hazardous affects of their products.

    "'We agree wholeheartedly with him,' said Chloe Field, a city spokeswoman. 'It is time to move towards trial in the Court of Common Pleas where we filed this case nearly three years ago.'

    "In 2020, the city of Charleston filed the lawsuit against two dozen major #oil and #pipeline companies, alleging their products and the spread of misinformation about #FossilFuels have caused #ClimateChange leading to repetitive and disastrous #flooding in the city.

    "Nationwide, almost two dozen state and local governments are pursuing similar litigation against oil companies seeking climate-related damages. The only government in the South to file such a case is the city of Charleston."

  27. So, it's okay to destroy #Indigenous heritage sites, pollute the planet, and appoint corporate lackeys to advisory boards -- but if you protest and cause disruption, you could face arrest?

    The Australian #climate #protesters cast as extremists

    By Hannah Ritchie, BBC News Sydney, July 19, 2023

    "In May, after several #ExtinctionRebellion protests, the South Australia government introduced a A$50,000 maximum fine and three months jail for anyone 'recklessly' obstructing public spaces, while laws passed in New South Wales last year created a two-year maximum prison sentence for acts disrupting major roads or facilities.

    "#England, #Wales and parts of #Canada and the #USA have also adopted similar laws aimed at blocking disruptive climate activism.

    "In Western #Australia, climate protesters say they have been 'disabled' by intimidating raids, strict bail conditions and orders which give authorities access to their devices and ban them from communicating with peers.

    "According to Ms Grix, these tools were originally intended to deal with gangs and drug dealers.

    "'To apply [that]... to climate defenders, who are protesting about environmental concerns, seems to be a massive overreach,' she says."
