“In a crucial year, this COP made NO progress towards the just + equitable phase-out of fossil fuels we so desperately need.”

@esbast on why #COP27’s outcome was deeply problematic despite key progress on #LossAndDamage.

Full response from our experts: priceofoil.org/2022/11/20/cop…
The most important advances at #COP27 happened outside the official UNFCCC process, where our movement for climate justice grows stronger everyday.

Initiatives like @beyondoilgas, the Glasgow Statement on Public Finance, @mpsfossilfree, @fossiltreaty + more are leading the way.
“Throughout #COP27, civil society has demanded we #PhaseOutFossils & called for rich countries to pay up for climate debt. People power will force an equitable end to fossil fuels + just transition to renewable energy.”

– Executive Director @esbast
“Countries at #COP27 failed to agree to an equitable wind-down of fossil fuels — the first step in protecting our climate + communities. We won’t stop fighting until we achieve climate justice for Global South communities.”

– Africa Director & Global South Advisor @ThuliMakama
“The only safe way to limit warming to 1.5ºC is to equitably #PhaseOutFossils. Instead we risk a massive surge of new oil + gas production. #COP27 failed to call for an equitable phase out of oil, gas + coal, but momentum is growing.”

– Global Industry Campaign Manager @Davidxvx
“While it was good to hear calls for a global effort to #PhaseOutFossils at #COP27, the U.S. is leading the world in expanding oil + gas production. Biden must use executive powers to block fossil fuel projects + declare a #ClimateEmergency.”

– U.S. Campaign Manager @collinrees
“To protect lives, governments must #StopFundingFossils & halt investments in oil, gas + coal. A growing list aren’t waiting — at #COP27, France, Finland + Sweden presented policies to end overseas public finance for fossil fuels.”

– Public Finance Campaign Manager @LaurievdBurg

Our new factsheet covers the 🕸 spookiest 🕸 of topics: how the US gov’t uses tax dollars to prop up the fossil fuel industry’s devilish schemes known as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and fossil hydrogen. oilchange.org/publications/f…
Despite the abundant evidence of these technologies’ failures, the US subsidizes them with more public money than any other country. It has committed over $12 billion to them over the past 40 years. It’s ghoulish – and just the beginning. 👹 Image
The US has foregone more than $1.3 billion in tax revenue to offer credits to corporations to capture carbon, *even if it's used to produce more oil.* Laws passed since 2020 could result in 👹 $120B+ 👹going to CCS and fossil hydrogen over the next 10 years.

What's the deal with the push to re-brand LNG as “green”? 🧵👇

The latest from @WeAreDrilled @amywestervelt @andy_rowell

drilled.media/news/PAGE
1/8 The Republican Governors Public Policy Committee blamed @POTUS' energy policies for rising gas prices. They urged him to roll back air pollution standards, increase oil + gas leasing, and lift the pause on new LNG export terminal. Read their letter: rga.org/joint-letter-t…
2/8 But the real challenge for the LNG industry isn't the U.S. government, but Europe. The EU recently finalized a measure limiting long-term gas contracts unless emissions are abated. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT: Introducing the "Japan Greenwash Summit" 🟢💼—a spoof website that exposes the truth behind the @JPNEnergySummit! 🚫 #JapanGreenwashSummit #Greenwashing japangreenwashsummit.com
1/8 🌍 Starting today, Tokyo hosts the #JapanEnergySummit, organized by #JERA & `TokyoGas. Big names like @Exxon, & @BP along with 🇯🇵@METI_JPN will discuss "clean energy" while ramping up investments in LNG & gas sectors. Hypocrisy much? 🤔💸 Read more: priceofoil.org/2024/06/03/jap…
2/8 🌐 To counter this, NGOs have launched the Japan Greenwash Summit website. It parodies the actual JES site, revealing how Japan is funding dirty energy projects worldwide while claiming to be climate champions. 🛢️❌ #ClimateCrisis

The ongoing invasion of Rafah is a devastating new climax in the genocide against Palestinians. We continue to be in solidarity w/ millions in Palestine, & in the streets & campuses, led by Palestinians & Jews, calling for a #CEASEFIRE
Our statement 👇🧵
priceofoil.org/2024/05/09/oil…
As Israel’s genocidal campaign intensifies, so does global opposition to it: students around the world are speaking out despite facing violent backlash and repression. Over 2,100 students have been arrested in the United States alone. 2/

Decades of overlapping divestment movements make clear how climate justice is connected to other justice movements. Oil fuels war and accelerates the climate crisis. Divestment is a path towards justice.@dharnanoor @guardian 3/ theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

🚨 NEW: Our latest analysis tracks the trail of death and destruction along the supply chains that bring fossil fuels to Israel. Read about who is supplying the oil fueling the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.⬇️ #CeasefireNOW #OilFuelsWar 🇵🇸 priceofoil.org/israel-fuel-pr…
Image
Israel’s war machine is heavily reliant on imports from the US, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Gabon, plus Brazil, Saudi, the UAE & Egypt. Oil majors like @bp_plc @Chevron @exxonmobil @Shell are complicit as well. #StopTheGenocideInPalestine

30,000+ have been brutally killed in the war on Palestine. With massive protests across the globe and the ruling by the @CIJ_ICJ that some of Israel's actions may have violated the terms of the Genocide Convention, countries & companies sending fossil fuels to 🇮🇱 must stop now. Image

1/ 🚨 New report 🚨 None of the oil and gas producing countries in the North Sea are on track to stop drilling in time to reach the 1.5°C warming limit.

2/ 🇳🇴 Norway 🇳🇴 is the WORST of all:

❌ Has approved the most expansion of oil and gas in the region.
❌ Threatens to be the world’s 12th largest developer of new oil and gas fields.
❌ Is fully unaligned in most categories.

3/ 🇬🇧The UK🇬🇧, once a leader, is now one of the biggest emissions threats in the region.

❌No phase out date or transition plans
❌Planning to increase licensing
❌Aims to extract every drop of oil from the North Sea

The UK is backsliding embarrassingly.
