Not coincidentally, the #FossilFool #Oiligarchy has been putting a ton of effort into turning the non authoritarian oil producing nations/jurisdictions into autocracies.

Big fossil fuel has been spending hundreds of millions a year to fool you. Don't be a #FossilFool
#ClimateActionNow
A source is much appreciated.
I'd probably be able to read a more complete account of how #AlboMP is being a #FossilFool there.
Try to laugh at this, dare you! "Scientists Have a Solution to Climate Catastrophe, But You Can't Have It | The Daily Show" #climatechange #greed #fossilfool
It's 2024, the #climateCrisis is all around us, biodiversity is collapsing and we still cannot get our #FossilFool "leaders" to even agree to start solving the main cause of these issues.
The inertia of Business As Usual is perhaps our own worst enemy.
The vested interests of extractive economy continue to be placed above the survival of our own society.
Fossil fuel transition pledge left out of #COP16Colombia draft agreement

Climate Home News · Fossil fuel transition pledge left out of COP16 draft agreementA draft decision at COP16 included a call for a fossil fuel transition, which was later removed from current versions.
The observation: "Gee, look at how #ClimateChange has resulted in incredibly damaging severe weather all across the world. It's disturbing that this is happening faster than so many of us expected."
The #BigBusiness response: " Oh, sorry - we didn't realize we couldn't make our share price targets if we actually changed our business to reduce #GHGs and other environmental impacts. So we'll have to back off our commitments to be responsible."
Maybe we need strict #regulations and #policies on reducing GHGs? FWIW, regulations level the playing field - they switch the competitive advantage of not taking #ClimateAction to a disadvantage (and might actually encourage creativity in the marketplace)

Did you know these risks have been known for many years? What's new is that they are now showing up not as risks, but as actual #ClimateDamage. We could have avoided this; we knew the #ClimateCrisis would hurt us if we didn't reduce #GHG emissions over 30 YEARS ago. (And yet too many governments are reneging on their inadequate commitments, and the #FossilFool companies continue to lie)

@michael @Tooden @Old_IT_geek Agree, fwiw. I really dislike this trope. Not only is it just a speaking-point of the two #ShitParties, it's broadly inaccurate, but those times when the Greens stuck to their guns were critically important matters of policy principle predicated directly on science. It's always mysterious to me why peeps want to blame the Greens for yielding to science, rather than more correctly blame the #Shitters for being so cravenly beholden to the #FossilFool vested-interests & destroying our future.

What a loser. That’s how stupid you become if you surround yourself with people who only tell you what you want to hear.

And there are so many observations similar to "This matter brings to mind a saying attributed to Socialist Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin: the last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope." I am sure #climate will say something similar about the #fossilfool

What makes a theory more probable is the weight of supporting evidence (not how many people believe it or not). Without a reasonable amount of converging evidence the "theory" is at best speculation.
Internal #FossilFuel Industry Memos Reveal Decades of #Corporate #Disinformation https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/climate-deception-dossiers
Nobody ever said that the #FossilFool industry executives were clever, which may explain why they didn't delete the evidence that proves they're lying criminals (allegedly)
Union of Concerned ScientistsThe Climate Deception DossiersLeaked documents show that the world's largest fossil fuel companies have deliberately deceived the public for nearly 30 years about the realities and risks of climate change.
I have thought it before & l will think it again that #ClimateChange is being caused by greedy, arrogant, dishonest, stubborn, ignorant, afraid, neurotic, mistaken, etc., "adults" (varying temperaments & attitudes)
If the evidence inferred that climate change was being caused by intelligent people, that's what I'd think, but, it doesn't, so.
Whilst Intelligence is a relative quality, the #capitalist #economy rewards dishonesty & corruption. Evidently! E.g., the lying #FossilFool companies
Let's try to talk to the #FossilFool (AKA #FossilFuel ) industry bosses & their political lobbyists as if they were very ignorant & very naughty children.
Primary school level #science for Fossil Fools "Ok, settle down you naughty kids & listen up. To be serious about tackling #ClimateChange, you need to stop carbon emissions from getting into the atmosphere in the first place. The biggest problem with carbon offsetting is that it doesn’t work https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/the-biggest-problem-with-carbon-offsetting-is-that-it-doesnt-really-work/
Greenpeace UKThe biggest problem with carbon offsetting is that it doesn’t really work | Greenpeace UKAirlines and oil companies love talking about carbon offsetting. But to be serious about tackling climate change, they need to stop carbon emissions.

We (individuals & organizations) all must do everything that we can, at all scales, at this point. Even personal actions shift norms & make a quantifiable difference & every little difference is real. That means we must completely shut down #greenhousegas #ghg emissions. The #fossilfuel industry should be completely shut down. It's a matter of time, & it won't be long, before #FossilFool executives will face Justice at the International Criminal Court for Crimes Against Humanity.

With respect...
>#Doomers are more dangerous than are deniers
...is arrant bullshit.
There is no justification for juvenile optimism. Too many citizens in democracies around the world still vote in govts beholden to #FossilFool vested-interests, who continue to subsidise, support & approve ongoing FF use & expansion. Capitalism continues to perpetuate 3rd-world energy disadvantage. Too many climate non-linear #TippingPoints are now unavoidable. Wake up!
This is a stunningly detailed indictment of Australian Labor's extremist policy in the wake of the new IPCC policy. Dangerously extreme worldwide because Australia is responsible for the fuel behind 5% of world emissions, and is still approving more oil, coal and gas projects.

Follow the trail of breadcrumbs leading away from stories pushing #ClimateChange disinformation in #NZ broadcast media and it almost always leads back to a #FossilFool industry front group, whose name is exactly the opposite of what they do:
