Homeowners Sue Oil Companies as Climate Damage Drives up Insurance Rates.
The class-action lawsuit is the first of its kind to target Big Oil over rising home insurance costs. #ClimateChange
Oil and gas companies keep expanding drilling, keep fuelling climate breakdown, and keep pocketing record profits while communities around the world face floods, fires, droughts and rising costs of survival.
People everywhere deserve a fair system where fossil fuel giants pay for the destruction they cause.
Not taxpayers. Not frontline communities.
It is time to #MakePollutersPay.

When you look at the catastrophic damage that #ClimateChange is *already* causing, and then you look at governments all over the world saying that they want to keep burning fossil fuels for decades to come and making things even worse, the only question I find I can ask is:
"What the absolute fuck is wrong with people?"

A contractor has now set up to start the demolition of St Fitticks Park. All for a so-called "Energy Transition Zone" that is nothing but a cover for an oil billionaire to expand his fossil investments. (1/5)

Antarctica, long considered a remote and isolated region, is now showing signs of emerging diseases. Migratory birds and rising temperatures are introducing pathogens into previously untouched ecosystems. This study highlights the spread of H5N1 bird flu among seals and other animals. It underscores the urgent need for monitoring and early-warning systems to protect wildlife

• Fossil fuels were not mentioned in the key final decision – petrostates including Saudi Arabia and allies fought fiercely to keep that out.
• A commitment to a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels was not part of the formal deal

Fury, confusion and gratitude as climate deal reached in Belé – as it happened
After a series of all-night meetings and fears the summit could collapse, an agreement has been gavelled through at Cop30Graham Readfearn (The Guardian)
Latest comic: Climate Silence
#climate #climatechange #cop30 #media #journalism #uspol #oligarchy #climatecrisis
Not at all surprising, but still really bad news from COP30.
"Nearly 200 countries at the U.N. climate summit reached a deal that didn’t include a road map to curtail use of fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change."
"The deal, reached at the annual United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, represents a win for the oil, gas and coal industries and underscores the extent to which the global political environment has shifted since the same group struck the Paris agreement a decade ago."

Claiming #ClimateChange is some kind of conspiracy to elevate China's economy, in the face of the fact Global Warming is incontrovertible, is little more than admitting the USA could have been the leader in sustainable technology starting forty years ago – *and chose not to*. Because billionaires.

This is closed eyes, fingers in ears, and shouting, "Na, na, na, can't hear you!" #politics.
It was only in 2007 that the panel began to look at the issue differently, revealing how we insist on separating what has never been separate. Health and the environment have always been connected. The forest peoples know this, the riverside communities know this, the quilombolas and indigenous peoples know this. Is it only white men who still do not know this? And yet we pride ourselves on having so much knowledge; I would say that we know very little

#Iceland’s relatively mild #climate is shaped by a crucial network of currents that winds its away around the #Atlantic Ocean transporting heat northward — without it, the island would be much icier & stormier. As evidence mounts these currents could be on course for #collapse, Iceland’s govt has designated the risk a #NationalSecurity threat, prompting a a high-level response into how to prepare for this “#existential threat.”

What's horrifying about this graph is that we're emitting CO2 from fossil hydrocarbons NOW at four times the rate we were when I was a child, and twice the rate we were in 1972, when we already knew that #ClimateChange was an existential problem.

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all #Cop30 delegations except Brazil. The Philippines by nearly 50 to 1
and Jamaica by 40 to 1 🤮
But the true extent of fossil fuel influence is likely to be higher, as more than half of all country delegation members at Cop30 withheld or obscured details of their affiliations!

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

Die #GigaBattery soll #Solar- und #Windstrom zwischenspeichern und bei Bedarf ins Netz einspeisen. Betreiber #LEAG will damit ehemalige #Braunkohleflächen für die #Energiewende nutzen.
Der Start ist für Ende 2027 geplant.

Carney government scrapping #greenwashing rules via 2025 federal budget. It's "being framed as necessary to reduce “investment uncertainty".
🚨👉🏻 i.e. Scrapping the "rules that gave Canadians a private right of action against deceptive marketing and required companies to substantiate their environmental claims"

The predictions scientists made decades are ago are coming true one by one and yet we are still getting told by the scientifically illiterate we need to keep burning oil for their yacht money.
We have a decision to make. Do we save humanity or do we save billionaires?
Not only do we need to end fossil fuel subsidies, we need to tax them out of business.
