Agrochems are fossil fuels. A healthy & just future means neither.

Tondelier au bord des larmes après l'absence de soutien de Bruno Le Maire à LFI contre le RN: "C'est un comportement de lâche et de privilégié. Le RN a la capacité d'avoir la majorité absolue, pas LFI. Ils ont choisi le déshonneur, ils auront le déshonneur et la défaite"

Floods result not only from #ClimateChange but also from land use: asphalt & arable land absorb very little water. When water can spill into natural areas, it doesn't flood through houses & streets.
--> #RestoreNature is not just "nice to have", it's a matter of life & death.

In #Africa a majority of farmers practice #agroecology, adding organic nutrients to the soil. A summit of African governments and corporate lobbyists wants to triple the use of chemical #fertiliser, despite it being a major cause of #climatechange #AFSH24🧵https://t.co/SitqohLrg5

Only a few govts are blocking progress on the #plasticstreaty, but failure will belong to ALL! With just hrs left,@s_guilbeault @BjellandEriksen @MarinaSilva @State_E successful treaty must cut plastic production, eliminate dangerous chemicals, & ban throwaway plastic packaging.

1/ 5 🔥Should fossil fuel companies be determining climate action?

Read our new joint report with @recommon "Carbon Coup” & find out how the #CCUSForum, a group with no legitimacy & packed with #FossilFuelIndustry influences EU’s key energy policy.

🏭Plastic pollution isn’t just about plastic waste; pollution starts with emissions during the extraction of #FossilFuels & at the petrochemical and plastic production plants.

To reduce #PlasticPollution, the new @Europarl_EN must cut plastic production & #PhaseOutFossils.

[1/3]Yesterday, CIEL's @liliFuhr joined an event on the overexploitation of our #Oceans at the German Parliament to talk all about the risks of storing carbon beneath the ocean floor.
Read why #OffshoreCCS is no solution to the climate & pollution crises👇

📢 NEW: 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have registered to participate for the critical #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks in Ottawa.

That’s more participants than the entire EU delegation, scientists, and Indigenous Peoples.

Thread 🧵- New @FWAE & @gasnoessolucion analysis: In 2023, the US led as the main #LNG exporter to the EU, w. most being fracked gas!🚨Hypocrisy-we're offloading all the fracking impacts onto frontline communities overseas🔥 Read more here https://t.co/0UFJTYGXI0

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Plastics know no border.

Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production.

To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics.

🔎 A closer look at yesterday’s @BerkeleyLab report on #PlasticsAndClimate which reveals plastics are at the heart of #ClimateChange & undermine our ability to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C degrees. https://t.co/C64m0ROZ39

[🛑X Delphine Levi Alvares @delphinelevialv]

🚨Right before #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty starts, new report by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab finds that emissions from producing plastic could triple and reach 31% of Earth’s carbon budget if nothing is done to stop the current growth trajectory https://t.co/s5EYaNbt6u

Wir werden es niemals rechtfertigen können, in dieser so offensichtlichen Lage nicht alles gegeben zu haben. #ClimateEmergency

[Thin @thinink]

Much of the reporting on European farmers’ protests point to environmental regulations, in particular the Farm-to-Fork strategy (F2F), as the source of anger. Not only is that narrative incomplete, it is also dangerous. A thread on why farmers aren’t a monolithic group. 🧵

[Lisa Tostado @TostadoLisa]

@GlobalEcoGuy Looking at agrochemicals & how wean off the food system from dependency on these synthetic and fossil inputs. Discussing the role of green ammonia based fertilizers. Outlining the potential of more and smarter biological fixation of N, rather than Haber-Bosch based chemicals.

[Lisa Tostado @TostadoLisa]

Subsidizing #ccs and its infrastructure is diverting public money away from proven solutions. ‘Carbon Management’ is a new code word for climate inaction and fossil fuel subsidies. 👉 https://t.co/nxSPTN2Dd6

[Lisa Tostado @TostadoLisa]

On Monday, Germany's @BMWK presented its Carbon Management Strategy which foresees enabling the transport of carbon dioxide and its storage under the sea.
🧵why dumping our country’s CO2 waste under the North Sea would be a disaster for people and planet

[Lisa Tostado @TostadoLisa]

In conclusion, the German Carbon management strategy is sending out the wrong signals at a time when the climate crisis is escalating, and investing in real solutions is urgently needed. Sea surface temperatures are off the charts right now. It's frightening!
