"This will be shocking news to #Canadians who blamed the #carbontax, or #immigrants, or #JustinTrudeau personally, for #inflation and #affordability challenges after the pandemic. It’s no accident that vested interests—from the #oil industry to the Conservative Party—have tried to divert Canadians’ righteous anger toward those scapegoats. They don’t want us to know where the true problem originated. "rabble.ca/economy/fossil-fuels

rabble.ca · Fossil fuels are hurting affordability, not helping itConservatives like to blame a lack of affordability in Canada on the carbon tax, but this is a misdirection from the real cause of rising prices.

"The trigger for this report was the discovery by Laurie Adamson, a physician with @cape-acme.bsky.social, that her kid in elementary school was bringing home materials branded by #FortisBC. She was alarmed. What's a gas company doing in my children's backpack? What are they doing in the classroom?"

‘Legal sources have said the case is a classic example of a #Slapp – a form of civil litigation increasingly deployed by corporations, politicians and wealthy individuals to deliberately wear down and silence critics including journalists, activists and watchdog groups.

These cases, even when the entities suing lose, cause significant legal costs for defendants and can have a chilling effect.’

The intention was to financially bankrupt #Greenpeace in the US…£$660 million costs to #BigOil.

#BigOil choosing the location and jurors to get their win:

‘During jury selection, potential jurors appeared to largely dislike the protests, and many had ties to the fossil fuel industry. In the end, more than half the jurors selected to hear the case had ties to the fossil fuel industry, and most had negative views of anti-pipeline protests or groups that oppose the use of fossil fuels.’

For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]

After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]

I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine

I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

Trump Paralyzes the U.S. Wind Power Industry — The president, who despises wind turbines, has paused federal permits and leasing for such projects, putting company plans in limbo

And again, Trump hands another industry to the Chinese to dominate!!!! China! China! China!

Solar, EV and wind will be dominated by the Chinese feeding this technology to the rest of the world!

So much winning!!!!!

#endstage #capitalism = #fascism + #racism is ONLY the #symptom: IT'S NOT LEFT VS RIGHT: IT'S TOP (RICH) VS DOWN (POOR) AND IF THERE ARE ENOUGH (!) STUPID POOR, THE RICH WILL WIN (UNFORTUNATELY)
#DEMOCRACY WITHOUT EDUCATION IS DEADLY DANGEROUS! (SEE BELOW VIDEO)

REALIZE THIS: #BANKS PRINT #MONEY "#QUANTITATIVEEASING" AND BUY REAL THINGS = #INFLATION

at the end of the day Jill + Joe can not afford a home #realestate #speculation #madness

after DECADES of #corruption (revolving door #private and #government in #USA but also #EU #Germany) people feel (rightfully) exploited and are looking for answers (the easy answers are usually NOT the right answers X-D)

"what? i am poor because private banks robbed my purchasing power?" is way more complicated than "foreigners out" and let's switch on #nuclearpower and #bigoil again X-D

"More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged across the country. Many leak contaminants like brine, methane and benzene into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. The industry has already left hundreds of thousands of old wells as orphans, meaning companies walked away, leaving taxpayers, government agencies or other drillers on the hook for cleanup.

America’s oil fields are increasingly split between a small number of wells producing record profits and everything else. Researchers estimate roughly 90% of wells are already dead or barely producing.

Consider the Permian Basin, the world’s most productive oil field, stretching from West Texas across southeastern New Mexico.

“The Permian is the oil patch’s Alamo — that’s where it’s retreating to,” Regan Boychuk, a Canadian oil cleanup researcher, said of the oil industry. “That’s their last stand.”

Even here, many wells sit idle and in disrepair. It’s time to plug them, according to a growing chorus of researchers, environmentalists and industry representatives."

A pity because Los Angeles is such a beautiful city... Next wildfire: Inner Portugal?

"The new report, released Wednesday by the Climate Center, a think tank focused on California climate solutions, details how oil and gas companies and their allies used campaign donations, lobbying dollars, and legal pressure to establish a tax loophole that allows corporations to reduce their taxable state income by avoiding reporting foreign profits and losses, if the company elects to do so.

This tax loophole, called the “water’s edge election,” is California’s largest business tax break. The loophole allows corporations to avoid paying more than $4.3 billion in state corporate tax revenue each year and specifically gives oil and gas companies upward of $146 million in annual tax breaks, researchers found.

In 2023, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell made more than $83 billion in profits. In 2024, Chevron announced that it would be moving its headquarters out of California but will continue operating in the state. The oil company is also one of California’s largest greenhouse gas polluters."
