There is one thing that doesn't seem to be clear for Parties at #COP27: The only “clean” oil, gas, and coal is the oil, gas, and coal we leave in the ground.
❗There is no fixing #FossilFuels, we need to ditch them ❗
#FossilsPhaseOut

We cannot decarbonize oil, gas & coal. We need to #Decarbonize the economy, by ending reliance on #FossilFuels.
Fossil fuel producers are falling over themselves to sell their products as the cleanest dirty energy around. Don't by their lies.

Carbon capture & storage (#CCS) cannot make gas green, oil clean, or coal climate-safe.
Ample evidence demonstrates that CCS is:
🔻 Unnecessary for the rapid emission cuts we need,
🔻 Unproven at scale,
🔻 Unjust for communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction.

It’s no surprise that the most recent @IPCC_CH report ranked carbon capture as one of the costliest & least effective mitigation options for reducing emissions by 2030—the most critical period for avoiding further catastrophic harm.

Despite being around for 50 years, #CCS hasn’t made a dent in global emissions.
It has repeatedly failed to deliver the emissions reductions promised by its promoters while it helped to pump more oil out of the ground.

No wonder it’s the #FossilFuel industry’s favorite false solution.
No amount of investment in #CCS can bring about the needed transition to a #FossilFreeFuture.
By design, #CCS prolongs reliance on fossil fuels, literally & figuratively.

Our message for leaders at #COP27 is loud and clear:
There is no place for fossil gas in a fast, just, and equitable energy transition — and we must see this written in the #COP27 cover text.
We won’t accept anything else.
#PhaseOutFossils

⌛️We are past the talking phase. It’s time for ACTION⌛️
Phasing out ALL fossil fuels must be in the cover decision of #COP27, anything less than what we achieved in Glasgow last year will be an utter failure that will dramatically harm people & the planet.

To end this long thread, we want to remind leaders that there is no pathway to 1.5°C that does not #PhaseOutFossils immediately.
The #COP27 cover decision MUST recognize this in order to protect frontline communities & push a fast, just & equitable transition.

Ah... one more thing, today is #PhaseOutFossils day at #COP27!
