Paradoxes of #FossilFuels that contribute to #CarbonLockIn, by @JPTilsted:
1. "Everywhere, yet [made] invisible" (slow violence is overlooked);
2. "needed" [claim producers] yet inherently problematic, history of self-regulation a failure;
3. Booming, yet sector in decline

#fossilfuel producers are adding massive capacity, boosted by #plastic production, but industry projections for "transformative change" continue to dispose (yellow) + mismanage (red) plastics. @JPTilsted at @LUCSUS_LU seminar 2/n
Who produces and owns #fossilfuels? Wide range of actors including int'l + national oil firms, states, but also petrochemicals, "emerging market firms". "co-evolution of energy and engineering." Indirect ownership hard to trace + reinforces lock-in, shows @JPTilsted 3/n
