  1. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Thatโ€™s why applying the #PolluterPaysPrinciple is also about protecting #Science. When polluters are held accountable, independent science can inform policy without intimidation, manipulation, or #CorporateCapture.

  2. The #PolluterPaysPrinciple is over 50 years old โ€” but the #PFAS crisis shows how vital it still is, and how costly weak or missing enforcement can be. ๐Ÿ”ด Today, PFAS clean-up and health costs are staggering, rising, and largely paid by citizens โ€” not polluters.

  3. #PFAS pollution is a growing crisis. Solving it requires coordinated action โ€” & serious funding. The costs are massive, yet communities & ecosystems are left paying the bill ๐Ÿ’ธ. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Thatโ€™s where the #PolluterPaysPrinciple (PPP) comes in: those responsible must cover the damage ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

    ...(What the study only touches on peripherally is that energy demand is also growing disproportionately.)

    In fact, I'd argue that the positive incentive and drive that eminated from the Paris COP far exceeded any negative external shock in recent decades, maybe comparable to the negative one of the 1970's #OilPriceCrisis in magnitude.

    And these "shocks" do not necessarily have to be negative: as the #ECIU in London recently analyzed in a report, ten years after COP 2015, the world is in some respects already further ahead than it โ€œshouldโ€ be in 2035: 41% #renewableenergy vs. a forecast 38% in 2025...

    Just look what happened to grain exports to Africa, when Ukraine could not deliver due to the war.

    ...price shock, the war in #Ukraine and the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline let energy prices peak in the #EU. Another example was the major disruption of global supply lines by the #Covid-19 #pandemic.

    And even a planned "#ShockTherapy" does not bode well for many economies, here's a look at the disastrous #Russian 1991 example of #BorisYeltsin:

    "Anyone who owned these stocks was colluding."

    Morally, yes, maybe. In the criminal justice systems I am (rather superficially) aware of, ownership in a legal enterprise, in particular one quoted on a public stock exchange, is never a crime.

    " And a shortage of oil also sends a sense of urgency."

    Yes, this will happen, however, as we all saw by the most recent external energy-...

    It's less than a joke.
    The "industrialized countries" owe the "developing countries (and themselves) USD 170,000 billion (170 trillion) in #ClimateReparations. This is why the world's bigges #polluter, the #USA, has been fighting tooth and nail to negate any financial responsibility for #ClimateChange if the #PolluterPaysPrinciple were implemented:

    When I suggested that the #Heatwave2023 should be known as the #ExxonScourge, I was debating with myself.
    The company that pioneered #ScenarioPlanning before and during the #OilPriceCrisis of the 1970s was a clear contender for the top spot. #ShellKnew!
    You nailed with that tweet. The #Heatwave2024 shall be known as the #SHellScourge.

    The impudence of the successors to the people who caused this #ClimateCatastrophe with an average global temperature not seen in 120,000 years is outrageous.

    We need a strict #PolluterPaysPrinciple to cover the clean-up costs for CO2.

    #BigOil has been buying off #politicians for over four decades.
    #BigOil has literally sucked our planet dry.
    It is time to act.
    It is time for #BigOil to finally assume responsibility for the #ClimateCrisis and #Ecocide they have caused.

    It is a start.

    However, more revolutionary measures are needed.
    Passing the fictitious +1.5 ยฐC limit much sooner than we expected, we need a) the funds for decarbonizing society and b) no further detrimental opposition by #BigOil that literally buys politicians and has been lying about the #GreenHouse effect for decades:
