Only people who want #fossil_fuels to be burnt untamed further on for 20+years spread propaganda about new nuclear powerplants - which are extreme CO2-emitters when bulit and later when working a very toxic and still more CO2-intensive polluters of the environment - were a positive climate solution!

Australia claims it is ‘on track’ to save nature. We disagree The federal government needs to drop the spin and get on with the hard work of addressing biodiversity loss.

#Australia claims it is ‘on track’ to save nature. We disagree

#Ecosystems are being left to degrade, rare and precious species are sliding toward #extinction, and billions of dollars are being used to quietly fund subsidies including for #fossil_fuels

A square photographic meme © 2024 by Neil E Clement (The Sage) depicting a photo of a bearded bald white man wearing an off-white golf shirt covered with tiny multi-colored golf flags standing on the back of a ferry boat looking at the viewer with the white jet-spray flying away behind him and the blue sky rising above the dark landline in the distance and saying this: United States of America 2024: Status Report 2 of 3 for Friday, January 19th The oil industry does everything it can to prevent the development of renewable energy sources in order to protect the fantastic multi-billion $ monthly subsidies they currently rake in peddling fossil fuels. Why then do our legislators have nothing better to do than to spend all their time figuring out novel ways to enslave The People and especially women and minorities? Why? Because all legislators / judges are owned by special interest groups and have absolutely no allegiance to The People. TAPS is playing out all over America and the world every second of every day.

Renewable energy is cheaper and healthier – so why isn’t it replacing fossil fuels faster? Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.

#Renewable_energy is cheaper & healthier – so why isn’t it replacing #fossil_fuels faster?

Solar and wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less expensive today than fossil fuels at utility scale, and they’re less harmful to people’s #health

What the government shutdown means for public lands - High Country News Many parks will stay open, and oil and gas permitting will continue — even as tens of thousands of staff are furloughed at NPS, BLM and USFS.

‼ Oil & gas permitting will move forward, as will inspections at oil & gas & logging operations. BLM staff responsible for processing oil & gas permits, coal mining leases & “other energy & mineral resources necessary for energy production” will stay at work. #Public_Lands #fossil_fuels #mining

In 2018 I needed a new gig and started investigating #climate solutions and #Trump. Early on I found some connections and reported to #FBI. Those investigations were ongoing.

In 2021, after #fossil_fuels blocked us, we found the same names in both investigations.

They are not separate issues.

Yes, we need to continue work on #climate_adaptation

Suzuki is wrong about the struggle being "lost"

Pessimism saps momentum from progress we've made on #climate & the ongoing #energy_transition from #fossil_fuels to #renewables

It is always self-fulfilling, so we can't afford to be pessimistic

Alberta has long accused Ottawa of trying to destroy its oil industry. Here’s why that’s a dangerous myth Has Ottawa facilitated or obstructed the spectacular post-1990 growth of oilsands production? The evidence is clear: the federal government has been a major oilsands booster.

This contradicts the myth of federal opposition to the oil industry. Ottawa’s proposed cap, in fact, continues its decades-long support of the oilsands theconversation.com/alberta-has-...
