Hold the Government to its promise! No new #oil and #gas in our #seas. Offshore #drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, and won't even lower our #EnergyBills. It's time to stop letting #BigOil profit at the expense of our #oceans.

Stop Big Oil billionaires polluting our seas for profit

The Government must keep its promise to ban new offshore oil and gas. Drilling harms marine wildlife, causes toxic spills, and won't lower our bills. Add your name to protect our ocean!

#CarbonCapture for #BigOil is a scam and YOUR taxpayer dollars shouldn't be funding it. They don't deserve ONE MRE CENT FROM US. Tell PM #MarkCarney you want REAL #ClimateAction, not this B.S. #cdnpoli #ClimateChange #EnergyTransition

The system, known as the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), was launched in 2016 as a long-term effort to provide continuous, real-time data on ocean temperatures, carbon absorption, circulation patterns, and coastal impacts, with an expected life span of roughly 25 years. The National Science Foundation (NSF) said in May it had begun a major “descoping” of the project, which will involve phasing out several key observing arrays and removing in-water infrastructure over the coming months, ending real-time data collection in those regions as equipment is recovered.

— Anna Skinner, “Trump Admin Just Rolled Back $368M Ocean Monitoring System”

This move allows the administration to pretend like it cares about “frivolous” government spending while also protecting Trump’s Big Oil buddies from the data that consistently shows they’re boiling us alive.

"The Interior Secretary broke the law when removing federal protections for over 2 million acres of public lands in February without hearings in local communities, without a public comment period, and without addressing that decision’s impacts on land, water, and subsistence users."

DOJ just sued Hawaii & Michigan to block climate lawsuits against oil companies. Exxon knew for decades. Now the feds are running interference for them. This is what captured government looks like.

Shouldn’t Public Protection Be for, You Know, the Public?

The Justice Department is now protecting Big Oil *from* the public.

Household budgets are getting crushed due to the Middle East conflict. 😡Meanwhile Big Oil is projected to pocket a record $234 BILLION in windfall war profits by the end of 2026. Same old playbook: We pay for the chaos, the top 1% collects the cash. 🛑⛽ #WealthGap #BigOil #Inflation #Profiteering
