When I think about "innovation" I don't mean digging deeper into the #fossilfuel dead-end, I mean taking steps in the other direction. There are things we could be doing like that. https://www.hrmm.org/history-blog/sail-freighter-friday-sv-kwai-2006-present

If BP don’t think the #NorthSea is profitable for them…maybe that’s because it’s simply not and production has bean in decline for over a decade. This is already being seized upon by so called analysts (the rentagob quote used in Guardian comes from a graduate in War Studies) as evidence that there is no business faith in the new #Labour government. Such a surprise… #FossilFuel #Burnham https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/31/bp-north-sea-oil-and-gas-business-up-for-sale

“Civilization could prove to be a fragile thing,” — Shell Oil internal memo, 1989. They knew. They lied. They lobbied for more and more fossil fuel contracts. #FossilFuel #Shell #Wildfires #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Help #Canadian MP @leahgazan.bsky.social launch an official parliamentary petition (e-7522) that calls on the federal government to put people and the planet ahead of fossil fuel profits, and stop fast-tracking catastrophic #fossilfuel projects.

As wildfires rage, the world is backsliding on climate action. This can’t go on (The Guardian) Even as more than 35,000 wildfires rage across the surface of our world, and as we continue to rewind our planet’s climate so it resembles hotter episodes from its distant past, governments and trading blocs are very deliberately turning away from climate action. The latest evidence that we are not only doing too little but actually doing less as time goes by is provided by the climate action media platform, We Don’t Have Time. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/29/wildfires-rage-world-climate-action-scientists-fossil-fuels #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #wildfires #ExtremeHeat #heatwave #FossilFuel #GreenhouseGasEmissions #GlobalWarming

A new report released by the Center for #Climate Integrity, reveals:🚨#FossilFuel companies knew as early as the 1960s: branding gas as “clean” was deceptive. 1966 Shell report indicated➡️methane gas was released in “embarrassingly large quantities” at oil fields. So in response,🚨FF cos sponsored & promoted their own research -like:🚨Gas Research Inst to create an appearance of objectivity & chg the narrative. Rs/FF companies are killing us/the🌎‼️ 💙#Renewables #Lies #USPol https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/natural-gas-methane-pollution-clean-branding-myth/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/23/trump-says-he-is-close-to-decision-on-largest-yet-attack-on-iran The ordinary people of #Iran go on suffering, #international #law keeps on being broken, yet more #warcrimes are committed - & all so the #fossilfuel #companies can make larger & larger #profits, Vladimir #Putin can make even more #revenue from his #oil & #gas to pay for his #war in #Ukraine, & Donald #Trump can keep on massaging his #SolarSystem sized #ego!

The report #OilCompanies are worried about: #ClimateAttribution science New report says our ability to tie weather damages to #ClimateChange is improving. John Timmer – Jul 17, 2026 Excerpt: "Climate change is being driven largely by the greenhouse gases we’ve pumped into the atmosphere, which trap more of the Sun’s energy there. That added energy increases the odds of extreme events: longer, more intense heat waves and droughts, interspersed with excessive precipitation. But these sorts of events have happened in the past—how can we tell if any given weather disaster has been made more likely by the climate? "It’s a question with implications for everything from building codes to disaster preparedness. And there’s some good news: According to a report released by the US National Academies of Science on Thursday, the field of climate attribution is growing increasingly mature and can answer some questions for us with far greater confidence than it could just a decade ago. The report also notes that there are still important limits and suggests steps to address them. "Overall, this makes it clear that climate attribution is normal, mainstream science. And the #FossilFuel industry views that as a problem, as it could make it easier to hold companies liable for damages. This has triggered a backlash that has Republicans in Congress and state governments threatening the National Academies’ funding."

And this is the journalism that the #fossilfuel industry is licking its lips at:

‘Independent polling by trade association Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) revealed more than seven in ten people believe the UK should produce oil and gas from its own waters rather than rely on imports.’

  • ‘independent polling’ my arse!

  • just proves that 7/10 people in UK have no idea that we don’t domestically use oil from North Sea.

The notion that the UK is being too woke by stopping drilling in the #NorthSea and somehow depriving itself of useful resources and tax receipts is a #fossilfuel funded lie spread by Badenoch, Farage and Lowe. ‘The economic viability of new developments is only possible with massive state support, which enables companies to profit while the UK public shoulders most of the downside risks, including the potential for significant net tax losses to the Treasury.’ https://www.upliftuk.org/post/the-declining-economics-of-the-north-sea

UKPol, Burnham, fossil fuel, CN allusion to deaths Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
"Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling" - BBC News Well, this is depressing. Andy. Mr B. Mr New P M. You know that heatwave we just had? You know all those people who died, and the amount of chaos from things not working? You want... more of that? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c935yx2z9d4o #AndyBurnham #FossilFuel #NorthSeaOil #UKPol

CLIMATE SCIENTISTS ARE HOARSE FROM SHOUTING INTO THE VOID. IT'S TIME TO LISTEN UP! ‘We are going to lose everything. We’ve been trying to warn you guys for so many decades. We’re not lying. We’re not exaggerating’.’ - NASA scientist Peter Kalmus On April 6, 2022, Kalmus was arrested, along with a physicist, an engineer and a science teacher, for chaining himself to the door of the JP Morgan Chase building in LA, protesting the bank's investments in new fossil fuel projects. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #FossilFuel #CapitalismIsADeathCult
