India proposed the #COP26 agreement should state "all fossil fuels to be phased down".
But it seems the UK and US wanted to focus on coal to deflect from oil and gas.
All three are climate destroyers and must be phased out as quickly as possible.

Instead of joining the new @beyondoilgas alliance, the UK and US are opening up new oil and gas fields despite the mass death they will cause and despite the @IEA saying they are not needed.

Per capita, India is responsible for a tiny proportion of the carbon in the atmosphere.

The problem is there's no safe carbon budget left, and India will suffer hugely as sea levels rise, temperatures increase and Himalayan glaciers melt. It is shooting itself in the foot by burning coal.

We need to move away from horse trading about which countries are allowed to kill the most people through their emissions.
We need emergency decarbonisation.
Rich, high-emitting countries like the US and UK should take the lead - and pay for the damage they've already done.

None of this will happen at #COP27 or anywhere else until enough people rise up and demand it.
A study from earlier this year found UK North Sea oil rigs release as much CO2 as coal-fired power stations.

We need to quit all fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Media and #COP26 both all-but silent on this crucial issue.

“No more subsidies for [the] fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. Ends.” - @JoeBiden

"Biden & his team have some avenues to scale back, delay or cancel the sale, but they’d come with legal & political risks the administration may be unwilling to take."
This is where direct action comes in - by making the risk of allowing the sale greater than risk of delaying.
