#Climate workarounds?

#Stellantis to buy “credits”from a #Tesla “pool”to meet #EuropeanUnion's #CO2 reduction requirements, despite Brussels giving carmakers 3 yrs to comply, the group's Europe head said on Sat.

Carmakers facing tougher #EU emissions rules this year agreed to pool their #emissions & avoid hefty fines by having firms w/lower electric vehicle (EV) sales buy #carbon credits from segment leaders including Tesla & Polestar.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred sparks call to cyclone-proof homes as far south as northern NSW

"The research is really clear that cyclones and severe weather events are coming south along the Queensland and Australian coastline, and that our severe weather events will become more severe... Professor Steve Turton, a climate change expert with Central Queensland University, said homes and buildings outside traditional cyclone zones should now be subject to cyclone ratings, including in south-east Queensland and even northern New South Wales. I would suggest it needs to go down to at least Coffs Harbour." >>

The newly empowered fossil fascists are setting an example on #greenpeace and defenders of #standingrock, in order to deter climate activists and native communities from defending the land against #fossilfuels and extractivism.

None of this is normal. #farright Authoritarians worldwide are emboldening #oilandgas companies to act without any accountability, while #climatechange is already destroying communities.

Climate activists everywhere need to get their shit together and resist now.

Sea foam - You wouldn’t go swimming in sewage

"Research shows people should not go in the sea when it is foaming. These bacterial smoothies can contain more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant – and you wouldn’t go swimming in sewage."

"If the water is polluted with floating fats and grease as well as asphaltene, motor oil and hydrocarbons, these spores soon form bacterial colonies or biofilms that go forth and multiply."

"Reducing stormwater pollution will reduce the growth of sea foams. As long as humanity continues to produce pollution, the problem will increase. It will also worsen as the world warms, because sea foams like it hot."

Backhanded #climateaction?

Abundant schadenfreude, and this:
🍊 : "wouldn't mind" oil falling to $50/barrel.

That's 25% lower than current price.

Oil exec: below $60/barrel = less drilling, esp by "unconventional shale and the smaller players"
because they will make no profit on it.

Lower oil prices, less drilling.

Keep it in the ground!

Before a packed crowd of #oil & #gas executives on Monday, Chris Wright, the new US energy secy, delivered a scathing critique of the #Biden admin’s #energy policies & efforts to fight #ClimateChange & promised a “180° pivot.”

Wright, a former #fracking exec, has emerged as the most forceful promoter of #Trump’s plans to expand American oil & gas production & dismantle virtually every federal policy aimed at curbing #GlobalWarming.

"In the UK, the cities of Edinburgh and Sheffield have introduced such bans, with billboard ads for fossil fuel companies like Shell and BP, as well as airlines, airports, SUVs, and petrol- or diesel-powered vehicles disappearing from council-owned sites as the policies take hold."

“The fossil fuel industry is also the economic elephant in the room. Annual profits of companies like Shell have fallen, but remain staggeringly high. Meanwhile, the world is emerging from its hottest year on record. By imposing taxes, levies & fines on dirty energy companies, ending export credits for oil and gas & eliminating harmful subsidies, new funds can underwrite public-private insurance schemes. It can also support millions in middle- and high-income countries who join the global majority by losing access to the insurance system.”

TIAA-Divest!

TIAA-Divest! is fighting to hold one of the world’s largest retirement funds accountable — and this new Forbes article lays out exactly why.

“As societies confront the real costs of #climatechange they are moving away from #fossilfuels, resulting in billions of dollars in stranded assets. For example, TIAA is the world’s 4th largest holder of coal bonds, even as the three coal plants it owns are shuttered.”
