Climate Income for Europe 🇪🇺 #🇺🇦

Citizens asking to 1. #PriceCarbon 2. #ClimateIncome - Redistribute to people 3. #CarbonBorderAdjustment - a no cost policy to solve 70% of GHG emissions

[Climate Income for Europe 🇪🇺 #🇺🇦 @ClimateIncome]

Public support for climate policy hinges on 3 key questions
-effectiveness (does it work ?)
-inequality (is it fair?)
-impact on households (will we be better or worse off ?)
Making clear that #ClimateIncome addresses all these concerns is crucial.

[Brigitte Van Gerven @brigittevangerv]

Look at that picture.

Coal dropped from nearly 40% of the UK electricity mix in 2012 to 0% today!

A proof of what technology can achieve - with the right government policy behind it (including a price floor for CO2, tipping the scales in favour of cleaner alternatives).

[Brigitte Van Gerven @brigittevangerv]

Yes.

We each have our own freedom.

Freedom to pollute the planet with impunity for some.

Freedom to suffer the consequences for others.

What’s new?

Accountability is the only real climate solution.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

🚨BREAKING: Our research shows a climate tax on Big Oil's past emissions could raise over *$1 trillion* - enough to pay a decade's worth of the UN Loss & Damage fund.

It's time for polluters to pay up for their role in climate breakdown.💰#ClimateWeekNYC

New York could make history by making polluters pay for climate damages, but Governor Hochul is on the fence. Add your name now, this bill could set a precedent in making polluters pay! https://t.co/3NO5m6AVeA

🔥 Fossil fuel lobbyists are pulling strings while our planet burns. It’s time to cut ties and enforce a firewall—no more lobby meetings, no conflicts of interest, no special treatment! 🌍 #FossilFuelFirewallNOW #FossilFreePolitics https://t.co/mkZfhJRdhb

Our planet is burning while fossil fuel companies pile up eye-watering profits. We call on the European Union to step up and ensure a safer present and future by making big polluters pay for the climate crisis. #MakePollutersPay https://t.co/5pAczG5ona

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

"As long as we keep cleaning up after the fossil fuel companies, they’ll keep happily passing on these exorbitant costs to us. Isn’t it time to send this bill to the right address?"

Couldn't have said it better ourselves 👏👏👏

Everyone can contribute to ending the murderous war in Ukraine: let’s deprive the Russian government of its most important source of revenues: oil export. Please sign the petition: https://t.co/qK8zsAcR2E https://t.co/hxqhtRQ0In

[Brigitte Van Gerven @brigittevangerv]

The Energy Charter Treaty allows fossil fuel companies to sue governments for millions of € if they act against their interests (to give a random example: by taking action against climate change🙄)

The EU is taking steps to finally get rid of the ECT.

I had thought about this for a long time, not least motivated by the parking lot analogy, https://t.co/0M4jzGqnIZ. This article connects my work with @UniofExeter, @EAUCScotland, @ClimateIncome, and @CitznsClimateUK. Really happy about the positive feedback so far! 8/8

Technologies determine whether we *can* stop climate change.
Policies shall determine whether we *will* stop climate change.
Without additional policies to accelerate the process, the energy transition will come far too late to avert a climate catastrophe.

So far, it seems that #COP27 is an even bigger failure than COP26:
💀 25% more fossil fuel lobbyists than COP26 - the largest delegate group
💀 best outcome might be avoiding backslide from COP26
💀 even weaker language on ending fossil fuel subsidies
💀 sponsored by Coca Cola

[Climate Income for Europe 🇪🇺 #🇺🇦 @ClimateIncome]

We have the necessary technologies to get rid of fossil fuels. Now we need to create the political will to make it happen. Send a letter to the #G20 now, asking them to #FollowTheMoney: Redirect financial flows to climate solutions.

And now, that vote was clear
And so I face humiliation
Voters, you have to hear
To Vladimir, I sold our nation
I've told, my lies so dear
I've conned on Fox, the Maga airwave
And more, much more than this
I tricked you
My way

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

🚨 Breaking 🚨 The European Parliament just called for nation-states to “work on developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty” in its formal #COP27 resolution.

This is a major development in the global push for a #FossilFuelTreaty.
