Fossil fuels are the source of more than 90% of deadly climate heating emissions. So when 1600+ fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber the delegations of every country that has traveled to COP30, it’s time to kick big polluters out.

When the fossil fuel lobby is bigger than any country’s delegation except the host at COP30, it’s no wonder that ten years after the Paris Agreement the 1.5 temperature limit is in jeopardy. Today’s powerful panel is again calling to Kick Big Polluters Out. 👏🌟💚

For the last 20 years, Big Oil & Gas spent nearly $1 BILLION on lobbying FOR carbon capture. Their payoff is massive tax credits and subsidies.
Carbon capture was never about saving the climate -- it was always about protecting fossil fuel profits.

Anecdotal, but I’m hearing a lot about CA lawmakers being “Abundance-pilled” and proposing/backing bills that will rip the heart out of enviro review for almost ALL big projects (not just housing) and exempt/fast track permitting elsewhere. All over EJ, scientist, etc concerns. I hate this.

Shifting from Putin’s gas to increased reliance on #TrumpGas or any other gas is not the way. This risks repeating the costly mistake of not only exposing EU citizens to volatile gas prices, but also fuelling climate disasters & human rights violations. {2/4}

Big Oil & Gas has rigged the system. But there are ways we can stop polluters from shifting costs onto us:
🛢️end subsidies & tax breaks for oil and gas companies
💰 ensure adequate bonding
⚖️ reform bankruptcy laws
