On the gap between those profiting & responsible & those paying for it; translated into English: "”High time for ExxonMobil and co. to pay the climate bill
“Dieter De Cleene is a science journalist at De Morgen. While the contrast between the rising climate bill and the towering profits of the cause of the problem is getting worse, the bill essentially falls to those who are least responsible. That is becoming increasingly difficult to justify, he writes."”

"The cause of climate change is the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels. But instead of focusing on the fundamental root cause, we’ve been focused on the interim product, emissions.
"But what I show in the book is that managing tons is an extremely narrow and technical understanding of the problem of climate change."Jessica Green: https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/03/the-big-flaw-in-climate-policy-were-trying-to-solve-the-wrong-problem/

Yes, everything you say resonates loud & clear. Why don’t they [Big Oil, Big Gas] surprise us all by agreeing pleasantly to share their “windfall profits” with the country that hosts them? (Don’t answer: rhetorical!)#bigOil #bigGas #AusPol #windfallProfits #profitSharing #profiteering

Could we eradicate society's biggest issues? Can they be solved with money? Then yes, we can. Whether money end up in someone's pocket who's already extremely wealthy or used for the betterment of all the people, is a political decision. In each and every decision there is always #politics.

722 of the world’s biggest corporations together raked in over *$1 trillion* in #WindfallProfits each year for the past 2years 🤯
A tax on those profits could have generated money to tackle poverty & climate change.

This is equally true for #Aotearoa and we need a tax on windfall profits to help keep inflation down;
“The profits of Britain’s biggest firms have spiked 89%. So to claim that there is no evidence of excessive profiteering just isn’t credible. Policymakers seem determined to remain prisoners of a broken economy. They need to wake up.”

The 'inframarginal revenue cap' to address #windfallprofits – ❌which doesn't feature in the latest draft proposal – has been applied differently across the EU. If similar measures are adopted in the future, a harmonised approach will be crucial for investment certainty. 5/7

Mia Motley Prime Minister of Barbados at the Opening of the #COP27 World Leaders Summit.
She doesn't mince words on the north -south divide, lack of political will from the north, and the continued colonialism and imperialism that highlights debr inequality.
and the time for Loss and Damage is now. Needs to include non-state actors like the Fossil fuel companies that have had over $200 billion in windfall profit over the last 3 months.
Multilateral development banks need to be reformed.
