These spiritual beings do not speak or let themselves be seen, but they are present, guiding us and giving us motivation. In return, we speak up for and fight for them. We connect with them, using the #AncestralMedicines from our #territories.

It is so important now to make ourselves heard, from all across #Ecuador and the world, to defend #Yasuni and all our territories, taking care of what is left. Extractivism - through #mining, #OilDrilling and #logging - may be advancing,

The #oligarchs and #politicalparties advocating for MORE #oildrilling, for MORE use of #fossilfuels are operating from a simple premise:

Once the ocean currents, seas, forests are #beyondsalvage - once countless animal, insect, and plant species are #beyondrecovery - they assume we won't care anymore and they will be able to squeeze out the last few billions of $$ to be made on despoiling the world.

(They're already starting to say "It's too late; we should give up.")

"Revealed: 1,000 super-emitting #methane leaks risk triggering climate #tippingpoints "

"Vast releases of gas, along with future ‘methane bombs’, represent huge threat – but curbing emissions would rapidly reduce global heating

More than 1,000 “super-emitter” sites gushed the potent greenhouse gas methane into the global atmosphere in 2022, the Guardian can reveal, mostly from oil and gas facilities. The worst single leak spewed the pollution at a rate equivalent to 67m running cars.

Separate data also reveals 55 “methane bombs” around the world – fossil fuel extraction sites where gas leaks alone from future production would release levels of methane equivalent to 30 years of all US greenhouse gas emissions.

Methane emissions cause 25% of global heating today and there has been a “scary” surge since 2007, according to scientists. This acceleration may be the biggest threat to keeping below 1.5C of global heating and seriously risks triggering catastrophic climate tipping points, researchers say."

#Biden Climate Approval Plummets After #Willow #OilDrilling Greenlighted

"Voters strongly support transitioning to clean energy projects instead of building fossil fuel projects on public lands," according to new research published as the White House moved forward with a massive lease sale.

Tragic. Deeply tragic.
"Italy-sized chunk of Gulf of Mexico to be auctioned off by the #US for oil drilling - In latest blow to Joe Biden’s reputation as the ‘climate president’, 73.3m acres of the gulf will be offered for fossil fuel extraction"

Joe #Biden is not only not the "climate president", but in terms of contributing to the #ClimateCrisis, I think he just surpassed #Trump. Which means there is no reason, #climate -wise, to re-elect Joe Biden. After this, and the #Willow project, there truly is no reason anymore. Joe Biden is completely in the hands of the #FossilFuel industry.

#JoeBiden has never been the favorite of young liberals itching for a new generation of American leadership. As he gears up for an expected reelection campaign, a potential #TikTok ban and new #OilDrilling in #Alaska could weigh him down with these voters.

Biden had no leverage re WIllow. Lease was signed decades ago; courts overturned drill bans. Drill pads reduced by 40%; ConocoPhillips to relinquish rights to 68,000 acres of existing leases.

Gm everyone the #Biden administration was going to approve the drilling in Alaska regardless it doesn't mean he doesn't care about climate change. He already signed 2 pieces of legislation that will deal with climate change over the long run including the inflation reduction act. #alaska #oildrilling

“Biden continues to address #climatechange during high-profile speeches and events but his actions are contradictory,” said Siqiniq Maupin, executive director of the Sovereign Iñupiat for a Living #Arctic

"Al Gore warns it would be ‘recklessly irresponsible’ to allow #Alaska #oil drilling plan - #Gore has warned it would be “recklessly irresponsible” to allow an enormous, controversial oil drilling project to proceed in #Alaska, speaking ahead of a decision from the #Biden administration on whether to approve it. Gore spoke amid growing alarm among Democrats and campaigners that the Willow development will drastically undermine the US’s effort to confront the climate crisis.

The vast, multi-billion-dollar #ConocoPhillips oil project, to be situated on the #tundra of Alaska’s northern #Arctic coast, is awaiting approval from the federal government that could arrive as soon as Friday. Gore, the former US vice-president and leading climate advocate, told the Guardian that the planned drilling would threaten local communities as well as the task of curbing dangerous global heating.

“The proposed expansion of oil and gas drilling in Alaska is recklessly irresponsible,” Gore said. “The pollution it would generate will not only put Alaska native and other local communities at risk, it is incompatible with the ambition we need to achieve a net zero future.

“We don’t need to prop up the fossil fuel industry with new, multi-year projects that are a recipe for climate chaos,” Gore added. “Instead, we must end the expansion of oil, gas and coal and embrace the abundant climate solutions at our fingertips.”

A 5.4 Earthquake occurred near Pecos, Texas on November 17. A 5.4 Earthquake occurred near Midland, Texas on December 16. These two earthquakes tied for third strongest earthquakes in over a hundred years in Texas. The two were a month and 100 miles apart. #earthquake #texas #texasearthquakes #oildrilling #fracking
