2/n Why is @senatemajldr more worried about an imaginary epidemic of lawsuits than the real epidemic? This would only invite more reckless behavior, and more people would get sick and die, says Rob Weissman, head of @Public_Citizen

3/n @SenSchumer: Republicans are fighting for corporate immunity at the expense of essential workers who risk their safety, and that of their families, every day. The only way to reopen the economy is if workers and consumers are safe and protected. #PeopleNotPolluters
Ok...I know news about the Federal Reserve isn’t exactly viral twitter content, but this is IMPORTANT.
Under the guise of the Corona-19 bailout, the Fed is pumping *BILLIONS* into the fossil fuel industry.
Here's a 🧵on how your money is fueling the climate crisis.

Today, 69 orgs call on the Fed to end its purchase of fossil fuel debt.
The Fed must stop leveraging public money to purchase debt from the firms exacerbating the climate crisis. #StopTheMoneyPipeline #PeopleNotPolluters priceofoil.org/2020/07/30/fed…

There are some BIG names who signed onto the letter: @LCVoters, @OxfamAmerica, @SierraClub, @sunrisemvmt and more.
Why the interest? Because money fuels the climate crisis and the Fed is setting up one of the biggest money pipelines to fossil fuels.

If even the worst possible weather cannot stop the demonstrators, the reason must be important: The @ecb has again decided on high investments and we demand to use them against the #ClimateCrisis!

The #EU wants to become climate neutral by 2050 and @Lagarde , the new head of the @ecb, has acknowledged the importance of green investments in combating the #climatecrisis. Still the financial policies of the ECB are in contrast to that.

Price stability is the most important task of the ECB: ecb.europa.eu/mopo/intro/obj…
The economic consequences of the climate crisis will be so devastating that this will be in danger in the long term. The ECB must therefore take responsibility + protect the climate! 🔥 2/10

The ECB sees itself as a neutral market participant and intends their purchases in a way, that the market gets equally represented and prevents market interferences. 3/10
Mnuchin and Trump could announce a plan to bailout Big Oil as early as tomorrow.
In this latest press release from Stop the Money Pipeline (@StopMoneyPipe) we list 8 reasons why that’s a no good, terrible, messed up idea.

1. The Trump Administration still hasn’t delivered for American families:
Nearly 25 million Americans are out of work. The administration needs to spend more time helping people and less time prioritizing the needs of oil company CEOs.

2. Oil companies are in a crisis of their own making:
Oil and gas companies entered the coronavirus crisis over leveraged and saddled with massive debts. The industry’s profitability and share of the economy had already tanked. They got themselves into this mess.

It turns out today's been a pretty wild ride for our Twitter handle! 🥳
More seriously & since you're here, we've got *ADVICE*.
Faced w/ #COVID19, governments have a choice: Build resilient societies to prioritize health & safety of #PeopleNotPolluters OR bail out fossil fuels.

The bottom line: Today, several years of #fracking companies going bankrupt, several decades of coal's decline — these are what an UNMANAGED decline of the fossil fuel industry looks like.
It hurts workers & communities badly, while fossil fuel executives get golden parachutes.

Today's wild ride of oil futures prices is a big deal, but the industry isn't disappearing tomorrow.
Instead, the current madness is driven by a 1-2-3 punch of:
- Demand destruction from #COVID19
- Global price wars
- Structural decline from renewables & decarbonization

Quick thread / rant on @IEA's April Oil Market Report, which uses language that normalizes disastrous #climate outcomes ... like a future in which the oil industry remains "central to the functioning of the global economy."🤦🏼♀️

As @IEABirol says, countries should put clean energy at the ♥️ of economic recovery packages.
But how does that square with the IEA's message today that governments should "help bring the oil industry back from the brink"?
A: It doesn't.

The IEA talks today about the "challenges of investing to ... meet future growth" in oil, while failing to mention that that is NOT compatible with tackling the #climate crisis.
Limiting warming to 1.5C requires a managed phase-out of all fossil fuels:

We must stand with #PeopleNotPolluters.
That's why @standearth is joining @CenterForBioDiv and over 100 groups calling on the government to reject efforts to assist the fossil fuel industry during #COVID19 and instead support people and sustainable energy technology.
