This profit obsession is why the fossil fuel industry will never decarbonise itself.

We need public green energy systems that prioritise communities over profit - a Fossil Fuel Treaty can get us there.

Text reads: The vultures circling over BP have chosen renewables as their prey. Clean energy would likely spell cheaper bills and better living standards for UK households, but even BP’s £7 billion in profits last year seemingly aren’t enough for super rich investors like Elliott. This profit obsession is why the fossil fuel industry will never be able to decarbonise itself, let alone do so in a way which meets the needs of working people. We need public green energy systems that prioritise communities over profit. The growing calls for a Fossil Fuel Treaty gives us the chance to move toward this in a globally coordinated way, for the public good.”

Students can demand that their universities or student unions endorse the treaty! You can also talk to local councils or your MPs about it - the more endorsements the better.

All of that "you might not like Starmer's migration rhetoric but it's smart politics" punditry misses the fact that it isn't ever only rhetoric... this is the sort of policy, and the sort of attitude among people dispensing state resources, that results.

Reporting on people the state makes destitute via NRPF is one of the most distressing things I've done as a journalist, but this is truly disgusting - a child who died after being denied foster care by her local council because of her mother's immigration status. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Like usually it just exists in my head as the season of increasing mud and darkness, but the trees have really turned out this year.
