Why We Went Extinct

The government of the Netherlands is planning to reintroduce half a billion euros of #fossilfuel subsidies in order to lower the energy bill for companies.

Yes, now some companies will leave the country if other countries offer lower energy prices. No, this will not secure jobs in the long term. Pouring money in a dead-end path and not investing in change will kill our future economic competitiveness (oh, and us...).

«However, critics, including the Solar Energy Industries Association trade group, have said tariffs would harm US solar producers because they would raise prices on the imported cells that are assembled into panels at American factories.»

Consider the possibility that hurting domestic industry is just as much a goal as hurting imports, especially if you can do it under cover of the fog of trade war.

It cannot be discounted as a driving theory that Putin's useful idiot and disciple wants to build the US back into a petrostate, killing the solar industry entirely. (That people give him any benefit of the doubt on this troubles me. I see no evidence he wants green anything.)

For the #FossilFuel industry it's better if we remain ignorant of how to help ourselves.

"This study informs how research can more effectively engage CBOs in climate adaptation studies, which, in turn, can contribute to building plans and systems that are better equipped to build resilience to compound extreme events...

This work was supported through a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NA21OAR4310239)."

‘The #BBC presenter Evan Davis has been told he can no longer host a podcast about heat pumps due to the corporation’s concerns that discussing the technology risks “treading on areas of public controversy”’

Controversial to #FossilFuel industry and #Reform voters who are trying to kneecap anything that will help us avert #ClimateBreakdown.

#HeatPumps are NOT controversial outside UK.

‘The existence of a silent #climate majority across the planet is supported by several separate analyses.

Other studies demonstrate a clear global appetite for action, from citizens of rich nations strongly supporting financial support for poorer vulnerable countries and even those in petrostates backing a phase-out of coal, oil and gas.

A decades-long campaign of misinformation by the #fossilfuel industry is a key reason the climate majority has been suppressed, researchers said.’

Half of world’s #CO2 #emissions come from 36 #fossilfuel firms
Report found that 36 major fossil fuel companies, including #SaudiAramco, #Coal #India, #ExxonMobil, #Shell and numerous Chinese companies, produced coal, oil and gas responsible for more than 20bn tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2023.
Global emissions must fall by 45% by 2030 if the world is to have a good chance of limiting temperature rise to 1.5C

By comparison the client industry (#FossilFuel) has about $244B annual turnover in US.

Visualize graphically how cheaply Trump sold us down the river. 75M vs. 244B. What does that look like, as a bar chart?

Remember this on May 1. Turn out. Show up. Book it.

I was looking at a can of cat food this morning and wondering when the ingredients label will be gone, along with labeling of processed human food that at least lets us inform ourselves of what we're eating and feeding our families.
You work in a coal mine and you take your chances, which all wind up the same.

Manitoba is ending some of its #hydroelectric #electricity exports to the US and redirecting that energy for domestic 🇨🇦 development and to offset reliance on #fossilfuel / diesel power in northern communities.

The amount #electricity being redirected is around 500MW - this is an amount of power roughly equivalent to the power of the upcoming Rolls-Royce small modular #nuclear reactor (SMR).
