Neat facts & personal story leading to GREAT question:
“ More than a million jobs are in the green economy - I have one in domestic retrofit.

“Why would a country seek to destroy a sector worth £100 billion that improves all our lives? ”

Big industry lobbying should be made illegal.

The fossil fuel industry knew way back in 1968 just how dangerous gas and oil were to our climate. They quashed the study, and to this day they continue to lobby hard against any and all restrictions.

Capitalists will see us vanish off the face of the earth rather than face one bad quarterly report.

They knew. Way back in 1968 they knew!

A paper commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute was never published in a science journal because it spelled out just how dangerous the fossil fuel industry was to our climate.

How an Early Oil Industry Study Became Key in Climate Lawsuits

For decades, 1960s research for the American Petroleum Institute warning of the risks of burning fossil fuels had been forgotten. But two papers discovered in libraries are now playing a key role in lawsuits aimed at holding oil companies accountable for climate change.

Mind boggling webinar on how the #FossilFuelIndustry helped to get Donald Trump elected and other plot schemes of fossil players. This reveals that neither the fossil industry, nor their elected marionette care about living conditions on earth. The panelists, in particular, discuss problems caused by #LNG and suggest actions we can take against it. #ClimateProtection

Tegan George adds further weight to the argument favouring #TaxReform in the #FossilFuelIndustry and #GasSuperProfits with this article for The Point:

“A lead analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has argued that conditions are ripe for an overhaul of how Australia taxes liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, with gas giants preparing to cash in on another global price surge.”
