@verolynne What has labels and what not solely depends on #Lobbyism, not on actual #harm!
"Those who track the growing backlash against renewables see what’s happening in Alberta as the latest victory for an international movement aiming to halt the shift away from fossil fuels."

"high-level influencing campaign over the UK’s North Sea oil and gas policies while being funded by fossil fuel interests …
The deal focuses on hydrogen and carbon capture technologies, both of which would protect industry profits but do nothing to fix the UK’s broken energy system"

"For 60 years, corporate polluters … derail anti-pollution laws, often using the exact same arguments and wording …
calling for more time to research technofixes; denying or doubting that a problem exists; scaremongering that regulations will hurt the economy, threaten living standards, and limit energy supply; insisting that industry is already making great progress in fixing the problem voluntarily"

Is a similar database available for the EU?
A new database shows that more than 1,500 lobbyists in the US are working on behalf of fossil-fuel companies while at the same time representing hundreds of liberal-run cities, universities, technology companies and environmental groups that say they are tackling the climate crisis.

@glynmoody case i. Point: There is no rational reason beyond #Copyrightmafia's #lobbyism why #Copyright goes 7 decades post-mortem.
If we applied the same with #Patents, there would be equal amounts of #IP #hoarding and lack of innovation as with copyrightable #artworks and IPs resulting in dozens if not hundreds of them being left to rot and stale...

"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."

If a randomly elected parlament can be considered as representative and lobby resistant (I strongly doubt that), why don't we fight lobbyism by randomly invite people into the lobby in the meantime?
🇬🇧|Following #scandal around @EvaKaili and other @europarl_en members, the #EU Parliament tightens #lobbyism rules. It's not like none existed before, but corrupt elites always find creative ways around them to fill their pockets. 🧐 #ID #Qatargate https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article244862030/EU-Parlament-verschaerft-nach-Korruptionsskandal-seine-Regeln-fuer-Lobbyisten.html

@Bargdaffy @mcnado In fact the rise of #Insulin prices in the #USA is why there's literally a huge amount of #smuggling of it across it's borders.
It's just that the #DrugIndustry hasn't flexed it's #lobbyism against that, cuz otherwise #DEA would seize those imports.
