Bioeconomy or biocide? Without limits to biomass use, the EU risks destroying the very biosphere it claims to protect.

Negative emissions from BECCS is a scam. You're burning decades of tree carbon, not pulling new CO₂. It doesn’t “remove” CO2 from the atmosphere, it increases it. #ClimateCriminals #BECCS #Drax

CA’s largest proposed wood-pellet plant is on hold after thousands of public comments and broad science-based opposition. The replacement wood-chipping project will be just as problematic. #climate @teampfpi.bsky.social @nrdc.org

Over 40 organisations warn the EU: certifying BECCS and biochar under flawed carbon removal rules increase CO2 emissions, not removals!
These “removals” aren’t from the atmosphere—they’re from forests.

🔥Reject Continued Subsidies to Drax🔥
Burning forest wood is not 'low carbon', is a massive source of #airpollution in the UK, and contributes to the destruction of old growth forests.

@teampfpi.bsky.social PFPI’s analysis shows how this bill is a direct attack on science, justice, and the planet.
H.R.1 is not a reconciliation budget—it’s an environmental wrecking ball.
Ends clean energy tax credits
Mandates timber extraction
Fast-tracks oil & gas projects
Slashes pollution controls
Blocks judicial review

The House just passed a monster of a bill, H.R.1 guts environmental protections, ends clean energy tax credits, greenlights land grabs for dirty energy, and slashes funding for communities hit hardest by pollution.
It’s a blueprint for climate and economic sabotage.

Logging more forests to mitigate climate change doesn’t make sense, but this could happen under the EU #BioeconomyStrategy. Scientists and NGOs have until June 23 to weigh in w/ comments to the European Commission. forestdefenders.eu/the-eu-bioec...
The EU Bioeconomy Strategy threatens forests - you can weigh in (due June 23)
The EU's forests are already in steep decline. Increasing harvesting isn't the answer.
