CLIMATE REPORTING QUANDRY
How to expand on record-setting temperatures without biting the fossil fuel hand that feeds…

The Media Has No Idea How to Cover Extreme Heat

https://newrepublic.com/post/174301/media-no-idea-cover-extreme-heat

News outlets are reporting on record-setting temperatures—but telling us little else about this catastrophic inferno we’re living (and dying) through.

"A powerful rogue industry has imperiled our planet. Their unrivaled influence in the financial and political arenas means they will be able to protect their pernicious business model for many years to come. […]

The [IPCC] has concluded that acting on climate is not being restricted by a lack of scientific knowledge or technological options, but by politics and fossil fuel interests."

Left: toothbrush of The Humble Co., Material: 100% plant based, exchangable head
Use: 2 months continously twice per day (about 120 uses total till product end life of the exchangable part)

Right: Random children's toothbrush
Material: 100% virgin plastic
Use: 1 month, every other day approx., once a day (about 15 uses total until end life)

If the #EU can ban plastic straws, it also can ban sh💩t like these plastic toothbrushes. When will there finally be strict regulation on #plannedobsolesence?

Klingt als könnte es jetzt echt eng werden für die fossile Industrie in den USA, wenn sie von lokalen Gerichten wegen Folgen des Klimawandels ordentlich zur Kasse gebeten wird.

Das könnte Signalwirkung für den Rest der Welt, insbesondere die EU haben.

5,5 Billionen US-Dollar für fossile Brennstoffe: So viel haben die 60 größten Privatbanken der Welt In den sieben Jahren seit der Verabschiedung des Pariser Abkommens in Öl, Kohle, Gas investiert. Profit over people in Reinform - so ekelhaft!

(The world’s 60
biggest banks poured over
$5,500,000,000,000
over 7 years into the fossil fuel industry, driving climate chaos & causing deadly local community impacts.)

"IEA chief slams climate 'contradictions' from oil companies …

The pathway for 1.5 C shows 'no new oil and gas fields approved for development' and 'no new coal mines or mines extensions.' …

… developing new oil and gas fields is 'incompatible' with the 1.5 C target."

Das weiß ich auch nicht. Die neue internen Dokumente bon Shell sind aber auch sehr detailliert in den katastrophalen Auswirkungen der globalen Erwärmung.

@MurmeltHier Wir waren vor Jahrzehnten schon beim 3l Auto. Dann bekam die Ölindustrie kalte Füße. Dann kamen leistungsfähige Batterien. Und die Ölindustrie bekam wieder kalte Füße.
Unsere #Demokatie ist nicht stark genug, um gegen milliardenschwere #Konzerne anzukommen.

Research cooperations with the fossil industry on renewable energy is like if you'd do research cooperations for better leg protheses with the land-mine industry.

Dear universities and public research institutions: these industries shouldn't be there in the first place. Don't legitimize them with your reputation. They're not part of the solution. They were, are, and will be the problem. #BreakTheTies

Brigitte Wear and Vatan Hüzeir in the Q&A session after their amazing talks today at our symposium on "mapping fossil ties" at Wageningen University.

Maybe Vatans talk will be made publically available soon - I keep you posted!

After their talks the rougjly 60 participants were distributed to workshops on how to gain critical information on the influence of the fossil lobby on universities, e.g. by freedom of information acts📄.

The outcomes will be documented by these cool guys here:
