Despite high profits from other aspects of the company, Equinor’s stock was recently downgraded in part due to its continued pursuit of risky future investments including #BayduNord: https://t.co/V6wCu99xjE #NLpoli #CDNpoli #Equinor #EquinorASA #EQNR #OilandGas #Oil #OffshoreOil

“The social cost of carbon in the U.S. has nearly quadrupled in the last decade, from around $50 per ton of CO2 to almost $200… All told, each barrel of oil and each ton of coal burned cause more in external damage than they add to GDP.” https://t.co/QFAfLHJUlS

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Why is there no place for new fossil fuel infrastructure to stay below 1.5°C (& 1.7°C)?

Because the CO2 emissions from existing infrastructure exceeds a carbon budget for 1.5° & 1.7°C under normal operating conditions.

Boy math is saying an oil field will improve energy security when over 80% will be exported overseas and sold to the highest bidder.

Boy math is making the UK public cover 90% of the cost of developing an oil field that won't bring down our bills during a cost of living crisis.

Shell has just informed the media that it will no longer be taking questions from journalists at the announcements of its quarterly results:

"to simplify the…process and bring Shell into line with peers in the energy sector, we will only hold an analyst briefing session"

Canada: A very serious G7 country.

[Dr. Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron]

The idea that weakening the UKs ambition to address the #ClimateCrisis is the "right thing for the future of our children" is a sick joke!

The latest scientific warnings make clear we need far more ambitious action from government NOT less!

Imperial Oil is determined to steal our futures one way or another: either through climate destruction or by stealing pensions away from anyone outside Alberta

[Keith Stewart @climatekeith]

The oil barons are taking off the masks: Board member of @ImperialOil (Canadian arm of @exxonmobil) writes 'Stop fighting climate change or we'll (try to) take half of your pension'

“I find it shocking and really disappointing,” says @algore on PM Rishi Sunak delaying climate action. “He’s done the wrong thing. I’ve heard from many of my friends in the UK – including a lot of Conservative Party members, by the way – who have used the phrase ‘utter disgust’.”

This US news is very exciting. 👇 Hey Canada friends, let's win something like this in our country! Bunch of action ideas here: https://t.co/H7WwzcFTM0

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

BIG NEWS: Thanks to the hard work of youth activists across the country, President Biden just announced he’s creating an American Climate Corps.

I’ve pushed hard for this.

A new climate corps will help create pathways to good-paying green jobs!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The creation of the American Climate Corps will mobilize young people who care so deeply about the future of our planet and who are ready to take on the existential threat of climate change. It's a good start. Let’s go forward together.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

MAJOR victory today 🎉

In 2021, we proposed the Climate Corps and launched a massive inside-outside organizing effort to win it.

Today, the American Climate Corps has finally come true.

Thank you to @POTUS and the countless communities and organizers who made this a reality💪🏽

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

It’s shocking that we have had to wait 30 years for this discussion given oil, gas & coal are causing the fires, floods & heatwaves sweeping our planet but make not mistake, it’s happening now. ⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ 🔥”Make no mistake this climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis.”
