🚨 BREAKING: For the last 20 years, #BigPolluters have become deeply embedded at the UN climate talks, attending the talks more than 7,000 times.

With #COP28 around the corner, it's more important than ever to #KickBigPollutersOut.

Important findings! Reducing emissions in one place does not cancel out emissions in another place and this overall plan will not lead us out of the climate crisis

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

BREAKING: Our new investigation with @GuardianUS reveals nearly 80% of the top 50 voluntary carbon credit projects are likely junk.
And instead of addressing the climate crisis, these offsets may fuel further emissions and cause harm. #FalseSolutions https://t.co/Nnvpyhug9n

@Ticketmaster we are entering our passcode correctly and it’s saying that it’s invalid. Help!

"COP27 looks like a fossil fuel industry trade show." This is not what we need right now!

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 636 fossil fuel lobbyists registered for the #COP27 climate talks.

Now more than ever, world governments must #KickBigPollutersOut of climate negotiations.

Communities who have done the least to contribute to the #ClimateCrisis are the same ones that are most effected by its devastating toll. That's why at #SB56 - #LossAndDamage MUST be kept on the agenda, indefinitely. World leaders, step up! #BonnClimateConference

A helpful reflection

@Starkwritten My main goal while running is to clear my head. Having music going, and worrying about if I have the right song on and if my earphones will fall out is too distracting.

Just tuning into today’s #BigOilLies hearings? Catch up with @GeoffreySupran on #Subvert about what’s at stake—and why Big Oil’s climate pledges can’t be trusted.

@farra Does "impact" make the list every year? I feel like it should...

[Lizzie McQuillan @demcquill]

@rgay oh my gosh welcome to a much better life!!! LSD is truly the best. First album, "neighbor song" and "my heart's in the right place" are gems.

[Lizzie McQuillan @demcquill]

As #COP26 ends, I'm joining climate justice activists demanding @AlokSharma_RDG & all gov’ts reject polluters’ schemes like carbon markets, do their fair shares, pay up for loss and damage, and advance #RealSolutions, like making #PollutersPay! Watch & share.

[Lizzie McQuillan @demcquill]

It's no small thing that this reality -- that the UN climate talks is swarming with fossil fuel execs -- is finally hitting mainstream media!

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

NEW: Did you know that there are more fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP26 than delegates from 8 countries most affected by climate change?

We've been analyzing the #COP26 guestlist with @Global_Witness, @corporateeurope, and @Ggow_COP. Here's what we found. https://t.co/zTcegcfDke

Soooo well said, Lena! Let's make this "disingenuous, dangerous industry pay for the damage it has done!"

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

On their 26th birthday and the day of the #BigOil hearings, our Senior Media Organizer @zealousobserver has an important message: "Are we prioritizing the lives of those whose homes are consumed by fire and floods, or the livelihoods of billionaire fossil fuel CEOs?"

[Lizzie McQuillan @demcquill]

Tomorrow has could be the fossil fuel industry's #bigtobacco moment! Important context ⬇️

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

Tomorrow, the #SlipperySix will testify to the U.S. Congress about their decades of climate denial, lobbying, and propaganda.

What can we expect at tomorrow's hearing? Our very own Patti Lynn and @GeoffreySupran in today's @latimes. #MakeBigPollutersPay https://t.co/gS3E9qfzoW

Reminding myself that it's not productive to sink into a deep hole of despair in response to the UN climate report.

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

"This report must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet."

#BigPolluter liability is not radical.
Wanting a livable planet and future is not radical.

⬇️ But ignoring the #IPCC's latest warning is.

[Lizzie McQuillan @demcquill]

We DO NOT need #BigPolluters like Chevron, Delta, Amazon, and Nestlé telling us how to solve the climate crisis―especially if it means relying on "net zero" plans that mean business as usual.

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

Behind #NetZero pledges is the reality that #BigPolluters can keep:

💵 Buying carbon offsets instead of cutting emissions
🌳 Driving land grabs in the Global South
🏭 Extracting and polluting
