Wir waren heute zusammen mit XR Frankfurt vor der Deutschen Bank, um gegen weitere Investitionen in Kohle, Öl und Gas zu protestieren. Passend zu Halloween und diesen gruseligen Methoden, die unsere Lebensgrundlagen zerstören, habe wir uns verkleidet. #divestfossilfuels #attac #deutschebank #klima #Stopfossilfuel #halloween

Let me guess, the first “entity” a Canadian Pension fund takes majority control of will be some slimy oil interest. 🤮
In fact, I will go straight out on that limb and say it will be Trudeau’s Transmountain Boondoggle Climate Killer.

If it is my pension fund doing the buying you may hear the screams for miles….

In the 70's I saw one of those science films about oxygen and was impressed at the demo involving a stream of pure o2 and lighting an iron wool pad... that promptly burned like tissue paper in a wind storm.

50 years later some bright boffins have come up with a way to make iron dust a carbon free fuel source; burning this dust results in iron oxide. You know... RUST.

This article does a good job explaining the benefits and challenges:

Der jährliche Global report des Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change untersucht, wie sich die #Klimakrise heute und in der Zukunft auf die menschliche Gesundheit auswirkt.

Klimajugendliche wollen grüne Finanzindustrie

Die Schweizer Institute sollen stärker auf die Umwelt achten. Die Branche hegt Zweifel, ob die Massnahmen viel bringen.
