$500bn is roughly equivalent to annual global investment in solar PV.

speaking of political assassinations, today we denounce again the dark beginning of neoliberalism, the assassination of Salvador Allende in Chile, a military coup backed by United States. 'The U.S. spent $8 million on covert actions between 1970 and the 1973 coup'. www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1...

This piece by Andreas Malm & Maxy Guez brilliantly captures both how mind-bogglingly difficult, but also courageous, the Colombian pledge not to permit new exploration of fossil fuels actually is.

UiO students can once again do exchange in Colombia! Happy to endorse my Colombian alma mater, Universidad Nacional, to those who might consider doing an exchange semester

Was reading a dreary report on decommissioning technology when suddenly this little fellow appeared and made my day

Unions and environmental organisations calling for oil and gas decommissioning to take place locally in order to bring jobs and boost circular economy in new report from Australia:

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?

As Australia lacks purpose built sites and fixed capital to handle their own offshore vessels, the production vessel Northern Endeavour will be dismantled in Denmark. www.energynewsbulletin.net/operations/n...

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

This will not stop before they are stopped.

Be nice if more news agencies picked this up

There’s no bigger state sponsor of terror than the United States, and no bigger bully in the Middle East than Israel.

A bridge to the future? What used to serve as a helideck for the Gyda platform has been converted into an aluminum-based pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Trondheim!

Det er vel faktisk akkurat slik Marx ser på saken.

As the costly endeavour of cleaning up the North Sea ensues, we'll likely see more headlines like this:

If the methane emissions from abandoned oil+gas wells & coal mines were a country, it would be the world's fourth largest emitter of this potent greenhouse gas. New IEA report underscores importance of proper decommissioning: www.iea.org/reports/glob...

Appreciated this piece about strategy in the climate struggle from Rodrigo Nunes, fresh from the press

There is something very 18th century over this. Solidarity with the Quakers!

De i Oslo som vil høre mer om dette kan komme på Folk i storgata i dag kl. 18.30 hvor @pederoe.bsky.social kommer for å snakke om dette temaet. facebook.com/events/s/kli...

Plugging av gamle oljebrønner på norsk sokkel - ikke inkludert fjerning av installasjonene - anslås å koste 800 milliarder kroner. Og det er selvsagt fellesskapet - ikke oljeselskapene - som skal bære kostnadene. Slik som vi må bære kostnadene fra klimakrisa. klassekampen.no/artikkel/202...

TNI fellow @triofrancos.bsky.social explains what is behind Trump's alarming push for global control over so-called 'critical minerals'.

Looking forward to welcoming Gavin Bridge to the @uio.no Oil & Society network next Friday! The event is open to anyone interested in the geography of oil and energy transition across the North Sea

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Det er 9.april 1940, Oberst Eriksen skimter det tyske krigsskipet "Blucher" i kikkerten, der det beveger seg sakte igjennom Oslofjorden. Han trekker pusten dypt, og gir den historiske ordren: - SENK FORMUESSKATTEN!

Tusenvis av frokost-begere i plast gikk i sjøen da US Marine besøkte Norge. Plastsøppelet dukker nå opp fra Sverige til Hamarøy, men Staten vil verken koordinere opprydning eller kreve at amerikanerne betaler, og peker på kommunene. Merkelig ansvarsfraskrivelse! borsen.dagbladet.no/nyheter/stin...

“4 of the UK’s naval shipyards already produce products for the offshore energy industry ... because there’s a very similar base of skills.”   Khem Rogaly for @novaramedia.com on how the UK could redirect productive capacity from the military industry towards green manufacturing.

This isn’t how you beat Russia. It’s how you become Russia.

Hear the sirens. If the warfare state replaces the welfare state, this will further fuel the extreme right. More countries falling in the hands of extreme right nationalists would weaken Europe in an existential way.

The UK value chain for fossil decommissioning seem to be struggling. There is clearly no lack of work to be done, but the oil and gas industry is too slow in ensuing the important clean-up effort. Where are the regulators?

I höst är det åter dags för CMS Marxkonferens i Stockholm. Huvudtemat för Marx25 är Imperialism, och vi välkomnar därför presentationer och sessioner från forskare, aktivister och andra intresserade som vill belysa temat med hjälp av teoretiska verktyg och praktiska exempel.
