The gas industry is sneaking into kids’ science classes

The Switch Energy Alliance markets its free classroom materials as “objective.” But they are backed by the fossil fuel industry, a HEATED investigation shows.

The most important headline of the year, if not the decade. And will be all but forgotten by tomorrow. #climateemergency #FosssilFuel https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/5/godfathers-of-climate-chaos-un-chief-calls-for-ban-on-fossil-fuel-ads
‘Godfathers of climate chaos’: UN chief calls for ban on fossil fuel ads

Antonio Guterres urges a 30 percent cut in global fossil fuel production and use by 2030 amid record high temperatures.

in other words, same old same old #capitalism and business as usual -

"The world’s #FosssilFuel producers are on track to nearly quadruple the amount of extracted #oil and #gas from newly approved projects by the end of this decade, with the #US leading the way in a surge of activity that threatens to blow apart agreed #climate goals, a new report has found ..."

Fun fact - (sarcasm) - "The US, which has produced more crude oil than any country has ever done in history for the past six years in a row, led the way in new oil and gas projects in 2022 and 2023, the report found. Guyana was second, with countries in the Americas accounting for 40% of all new oil sanctioned in the past two years.
...
Last year, at least 20 oil and gas fields were readied and approved for #extraction following discovery, sanctioning the removal of 8bn barrels of oil equivalent. By the end of this decade, the report found, the fossil-fuel industry aims to sanction nearly four times this amount – 31bn barrels of oil equivalent – across 64 additional new oil and gas fields."
