There’s a 96% chance 2027 will be the hottest year on record, according to Carbon Brief. Temperature records are breaking and climate disasters are taking lives. We must confront corporate greed and the politicians enabling it. Every delay puts all of us at risk. Put LIVES BEFORE PROFITS. Leave oil and gas in the ground, end industrial meat and dairy, abolish luxury emissions and halt reckless Big Tech expansion NOW. #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis #fossilfuels #meat #dairy #tech #AI

@Dragofix@veganism.social The uk government has something similar enshrined into law and they just ignore it, its a distraction tactic to make people think they have things under control while they continue to enrich themselves with fossil fuel capitalism #ClimateChange #FossilFuels #Capitalism #UnitedKingdom

How might one define 'super' profits, that should be subject to windfall tax? When (fossil fuel) firms see abrupt rises in profits (see latest from BP), we know that: new innovations have not come on line; new investments are not (now) 'paying off'; but rather; firms' costs remains broadly similar to what they were, but the price they can charge for their product has risen due to external market issues! In other words *they* have done nothing to earn such profits #FossilFuels #politics

Not sure what the implications of the decision to give the go-ahead to the Jackdaw North Sea gas field are?.... then here is a reasonable overview of the issues from @BBC Verify. As I've said before away from the spotlight there is still good journalism happening at the BBC, just not by their high profile commentariat. #BBC #Jackdaw #FossilFuels #politics

@stux@mstdn.social The #TechBros can indeed solve poverty, and maximize #Capitalism profits, just by cornering the #energy sector and other #RootInfrastructure. They can also usurp #FossilFuels in producing armaments, to hasten this solve, by genocidal means in abusive control of said root infrastructure. Welcome to the new authoritarian autocracy's version of Capitalism.
