🚨 New Report Alert! 🚨 Despite over 50 years of failure, governments are pouring billions into ineffective carbon capture and fossil hydrogen projects. Our latest report reveals USD 30 billion has already been wasted. 👇https://t.co/PlPhgyVFvo
To get to the EU 2040 Targets' capture rates, we'd need 6⃣4⃣4⃣ completed CCS projects in 14 yrs.

Canada is failing the people of Gaza.
We must do everything we can to stop this.

@DbergeBerge@amanpour@KarimKhanQC@IntlCrimCourt this is a western leader condemned by a western court, the first of its kind ever issued to a “democracy”… it’s a big deal, there’s a reason the US has been threatening them
