Fossil fuels are a sunset industry. Investing public money in Oil & Gas infrastructure — e.g., pipelines — is economic madness. Don’t let greenwashing by the fossil fuel cartel convince you otherwise. #FossilFuelPhaseout

Profits of Big Oil & Gas trump climate policy for Mr. Carney.
Exhibit 1👇.
The fossil fuel industry will be - again - permitted to lie about the planet-burning impacts of their products & production methods & phony greenwashing 'solutions.' #FossilFuelPhaseout

How is Manitoba doing on climate policy? Pretty poorly overall, especially on emission reductions. Gas tax cuts only make that worse. And being better than Alberta or Saskatchewan is nothing to brag about. #EnergyTransition #Renewables #FossilFuelPhaseout

🌏🔆 All Canadians deserve governments that are willing to create a climate-safe, equitable, and prosperous future. This year, we scored all Canada’s governments on their climate and energy policies.

So who came top of the podium? IMO the locals of Baku who graciously and generously hosted 60k+ people in their hometown. Meanwhile, all those digging their heels in on #fossilfuelphaseout can be relegated.

“Reducing emissions” has become an industry standard. Phasing out fossil fuels? That’s the message we need. Great WIRED piece on changing the narrative.

The Fossil Fuels Conversation Needs a Hard Reset
The term “reducing emissions” has outlived its usefulness, a crutch to soften the blow that’s being exploited by greenwashers. Now it’s time to get real.

🛑The new #EU2040 proposals also encourage reliance on speculative Carbon Dioxide Removal (#CDR) technologies which compromise its integrity.

Relying on these unproven technologies does nothing for the climate and only delays the full, fast #FossilFuelPhaseout needed.

..not just a fuel switch, the process itself emits greenhouse gases.

This is where innovation, massive investment, and political will need to be focused now!

Diese #COP28  entscheidet auch darüber, ob die Weltgemeinschaft es ernst meint mit der Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaabkommens oder ob sich die Öl- und Gas-Lobby durchsetzt.

Die Weltklimakonferenz muss den „fossil fuel phase out“ beschließen.

"States must now rigorously regulate, constrain, and ultimately dismantle the fossil fuel industry's capacity to inflict further harm. For too long, fossil fuel corporations profited while knowingly driving us to catastrophe. No more."
