“Promoting pollution”: Low-cost flights up to 26 TIMES cheaper than trains, new report reveals - Greenpeace UK

21 August, 2025 – Short-haul flights are still cheaper than the equivalent train journeys on the majority of cross-border routes in Europe, creating a perverse incentive that encourages polluting air travel, according to a new report published today. Released by Greenpeace at the height of the holiday season, the major Europe-wide report, Flying Cheap, Paying […]

🚨 Major fossil fuel subsidies are still being paid out globally even as we face catastrophic climate change. How can we hold leaders accountable for funding the very industries driving us to disaster? #EndFossilFuelSubsidies #ActOnClimate https://buff.ly/4esg72t

Picture an all-seeing eye scanning the dying Earth – and then lighting on our ‘solutions’ at Cop29

What would it witness in Azerbaijan? A species that knows it is destroying itself but is too greedy to change course, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Pretty good source for those that want to know when and how fossil fuel companies knew their emissions were going to cause problems for the climate. And their own internal memos show they knew and advised sowing disinformation on consensus.

Weather Denial Documents - Climate Files

Below is an annotated collection of documents gathered through the years amassing evidence of corporate efforts to deny the connection between climate change and extreme weather events. There are two major blocks of evidence: They knew climate change would cause extreme weather: Corporate entities “knew” extreme weather would be an impact of anthropogenic climate change. […]

Today's bike ride included a stop at Groningen Airport Eelde to attend today's protest organised by @extinctionrebellionnl

While normal capitalist businesses are expected to turn a profit or they will go out of business, our local airport receives millions of euros in subsidy each year.

Not only do airlines benefit from not paying any tax at all on the huge quantities of fuel that they burn, but each passenger flying from the airport also benefits directly from this subsidy that we all pay. Fliers don't come even close to paying the full cost to society of their flights, let alone for the destruction that they're causing for future generations.

Why do we subsidize destructive behaviours ?

At this point, fossil fuel corporations are rogue entities that pose the greatest security threat in history. We must reign them in, starting with ending all public subsidies for their murderous rampage. #EndFossilFuelSubsidies
