  1. Wie ein #Ölkonzern sein Wissen über den #Klimawandel geheim hielt

    "Auf den Planeten kämen Veränderungen zu", notierten die Autoren schon damals, "die größer sein würden als alle anderen in den vergangenen 12000 Jahren."
    Eine Vielzahl der Phänomene, die heute von Klimaforschern diskutiert und teilweise auch in der Natur beobachtet werden, hatten die #Shell-Forscher bereits auf dem Schirm.

  2. Lest unbedingt diesen Kommentar von @chrisstoecker ! Das Verbrechen an der ganzen Menscheit, das die Fossil-Industrie sehenden Auges und mit vollem Bewusstsein (#ExxonKnew, #BPknew, #ShellKnew, ...) begeht, ist wirklich atemberaubend. Wie Völkermord, nur an der ganzen Menschheit.

  3. @ChrisMayLA6
    and same #fossilfools knew that burning oil was destroying the atmosphere as early as 1973

    I think #BrentCrude on the rocks is appropriate for every last one of them!

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

    "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."

    Climate One: Law and #Oil: Taking #Climate Offenders to Court

    "The last several years have seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits focused on the #ClimateCrisis. Some lawsuits challenge #governments for their support for fossil fuels and for their failure to take #ClimateAction, while other cases target the #FossilFuel companies themselves for knowingly misleading the world about the climate disrupting impacts of burning their products. Some of these cases seek monetary damages, others seek to hold governments accountable to their emissions reduction pledges. As more of these cases get their time in court, how powerful can litigation be in forcing action around the #ClimateEmergency."

  7. 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."
