You know, fuck climate and fuck carbon. The fact that wars and lots of blood for oil are somehow an acceptable price to pay for energy has never ever been ok. This alone is more than enough reason to phase out fossil fuels asap.

Yes, there are 49 parts to this thread, and yes, it’s worth reading them all…

NEW 🚨Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries - the US, Canada, Australia & Norway - blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout. While the rest of the world reduced oil & gas production by 2%, these 4 countries increased production by nearly 40%. oilchange.org/publications...

5/5 @oilchange.bsky.social Executive Director @esbast.bsky.social says: "Our movements are stronger than fossil fuel greed. Every pipeline stopped, every permit blocked, every community protected brings us closer to the just, fossil-free future we know is possible. When we stand together, we win."

1/5 Trump's Day One executive orders are a full-scale assault on climate action, delivering returns on the $75 million fossil fuel companies spent to elect him. Our statement: oilchange.org/news/oil-cha... And 🧵

The LA wildfires are being supercharged by the climate crisis. Scientists have long known that burning fossil fuels heats our planet and makes wildfires fiercer & deadlier. Yet our leaders have allowed fossil fuel production to rise to record levels. www.axios.com/2025/01/08/c...

Happy solstice!

#COP29 wrapped up this past weekend and the outcome was deeply flawed. You may have see some big numbers making the headlines, but they're a dangerous smokescreen hiding what really took place. Read our analysis and highlights amidst the haze: oilchange.org/blogs/cop29-...

~NEW EPISODE~ Big Oil’s Capture of the UN Climate Summit continues at #COP29 Ft. @allieeerose.bsky.social w/ @oilchange.bsky.social 🎙️: bit.ly/4fX42nh

#COP29 is wrapping up and the climate finance deal is a scam. Rich countries are creating debt traps for the Global South instead of paying their fair share. The US, EU & UK show sickening indifference while millions pay with their lives. Our response: www.oilchange.org/news/cop29-c...

Waiting to see what comes through at #COP29. Same old story though — a lot of dodging responsibility and refusing to look out for one another by the U.S. and other rich countries. When are we going to accept that we are all in this together and we need #climatejustice and real #climateaction?

Negotiators at #COP29 still have a lot of work to do. Rich countries must step up and take meaningful steps to finance a just transition.

Today, we joined nearly 300 organizations in calling on the Biden administration to use the time he has left to stop the expansion of LNG infrastructure. The science is clear: We can't afford any new LNG projects if we are to limit warming to 1.5°. www.oilchange.org/news/open-le...

🚨 Biden's last chance to secure a major climate win: Supporting the Trump-proof OECD deal to end $41B in oil & gas export finance. Read OCI's @esbast.bsky.social piece in @climatehome.bsky.social: www.climatechangenews.com/2024/11/19/h...

In his final months in office, President Biden has crucial opportunities to secure his climate legacy and prevent Trump from eroding hard-won climate progress. www.oilchange.org/blogs/bidens... Here’s what we need to see from him over the next 60 days:

Hot take on President Biden's final opportunities to support a just transition away from oil and gas, including ending oil and gas finance at the OECD; denying LNG export applications, and stopping pipelines. @oilchange.bsky.social @collinrees.bsky.social www.oilchange.org/blogs/bidens...

As the fossil fuel industry feels pressure, campaigners increasingly face retaliation. We stand in solidarity with long-time ally Antonio Tricarico and ReCommon in the face of oil giant Eni's escalating attacks against civil society. www.recommon.org/en/eni-denou...

Breathe in, breathe out…

South Korea wins Fossil of the Day at #COP29 for continuing to be a blocker on an OECD agreement to end $41 billion a year in fossil fuel finance. We’ll be watching the OECD this week, as they negotiate this potentially historic deal.

The first week of the #COP29 climate talks just wrapped! Our team on the ground has been working hard to push back against industry spin and pressure rich countries to pay up. Here are the highlights: www.oilchange.org/blogs/cop29-...

This is BIG if the Biden Administration is willing to push it though: OECD negotiations next week can lock down 37 countries ending government-backed oil and gas finance. And it will be tough for Trump to backtrack on. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

#COP29 in Baku is all about getting the money needed to finance an energy transition. OilChange.bsky.social's analysis shows how private sector finance won't be enough. Governments must put public funds on the table for a just energy transition. #PayUpAndPhaseOut www.oilchange.org/blogs/cop29-...

It's COP season, so lets get right to the data-y good stuff! New analysis of the IEA's WEO report shows allowing more US LNG export capacity is a surefire way to cook the planet. We can't afford new LNG & can't afford LNG under construction to come online: www.oilchange.org/blogs/us-lng...

Well, hello! Nice to be seeing blue sky rather than a black X.
