So yeah, #Norway might leave the #parisagreement and I'm sort of fine with that.

Let's face facts, #Equinor has put Norway into the luxury trap of being a #petrolstate , and as such most people are not willing to give it up.

It makes us seem tone-deaf too when #western leaders told the global south to ditch #oil and #coal, which the global south replied to with a "you first."

Now the only thing I'm telling my countrymen is they'd better get ready to welcome #ClimateRefugees with open arms.

Rueben George "We Are People of the Water" Voices from the Salish Sea

Faced with the economic smallpox of oil pipelines, Rueben George says hold tight to your spiritual intention

SEATTLE -- "They never stopped fighting. Even when they cut off his grandfather's finger as a child in residential school because he couldn't speak English, even when they put them in jail for protesting the Trans Mountain pipeline, they never stopped fighting. Even when the appeals court decided that shipping the dirty tarsand oil was more important than the survival of the Orca whales, they did not surrender.

"'Even though we're almost extinct, we are still here," said Rueben George, səlilwətaɬ, Tsleil Waututh Nation.
'We're People of the Water. That's our First Mother,' George said at the Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle.

Coast #Salish Water Warriors: Voices for the Water at the #SalishSea Assembly in #Seattle

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews at #Indybay, Nov. 8, 2024

"The defenders are battling the dirty energy #corporations poisoning the land, water and air in western #Canada and #WashingtonState, and the waters of the Salish Sea. The rivers from British Columbia in Canada and Washington State come together in the Salish Sea on their journey to the #PacificOcean.

"The dead birds floating in the Alberta tar sands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased oil tankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil business of the Trans Mountain pipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands in Canada, bound for #OilTankers in the Salish Sea.

"The destruction, and theft of land, is a continuation of the #genocidal residential school system. Native children were kidnapped, ripped from their families, and incarcerated in the abusive schools operated by Canada and the churches.

"'We can't drink water from there any more,' said Jean, who lives close to the Alberta tar sands in her homeland. 'I was born into this destruction.

"'Thousands of birds are dead in the tailing ponds.'"

#GretaThunberg Won't Attend #UNClimateTalks in 'Yet Another #Authoritarian #PetrolState'

"We can't legitimize #COP meetings in their current form," Thunberg said. "The last three years, they've taken place in authoritarian regimes, and holding them in such places leads nowhere."

"Thunberg expressed concerns about #Azerbaijan's record of stifling internal #dissent as well as its ethnic cleansing of Armenians. The U.N. summit comes a little over a year after Azerbaijani forces entered the disputed, ethnic #Armenian-controlled territory of #NagornoKarabakh, prompting most ethnic Armenians in the area to flee across the border to Armenia. Armenia told the International Court of Justice in April that Azerbaijan had 'completed' #EthnicCleansing in the territory and was 'erasing all traces of ethnic Armenians' presence' there.

"At the same time, Thunberg added her voice to the many #environmental advocates who have called out Azerbaijan for planning to expand its #FossilFuel production. Azerbaijan's selection was especially controversial because it came on the heels of the #UnitedArabEmirates' hosting of #COP28, which also prompted backlash due to the country's #HumanRights record and reliance on #OilAndGas. Both COPs also came under fire for selecting presidents with close ties to state-run oil companies.

"'It is a slap in the face to all the people who are suffering from the #ClimateEmergency and from the repression and oppression of the Azerbaijani regime,' Thunberg said."

Putin has endless war funding thanks to worldwide fossil fuel slavery and millions more people to slaughter.
