Last year's U.N. climate summit host Brazil has released a roadmap for countries to transition away from fossil fuels, saying the endeavor was "necessary, urgent and yet possible," ahead of next week's COP31 conference. japantimes.co.jp/environment/2… #environment #climatechange #brazil #turkey #fossilfuels #cop31 #environment #emissions #climatechange



Iran’s navy says two tankers hit mines in the strait of Hormuz. Another oil spill in this region would be a disaster.

Fossil fuel dependence threatens peace, security, and the climate and ecosystems that sustain us.

Time to END the age of oil and gas and power up local RENEWABLES.

Until we remove fossil fuels from our matrix of making electricity, energy prices will remain high.

#Miliband had a far more constructive line in explaining why we needed to work on boosting connections to the National Grid, #Healey seems to be just throwing his hands up in despair and siding with #FossilFuels. He’s been captured.



<<So how do we get #AI , #FossilFuels and #Billionaires out of the heart of government?>>

The only way is to show attitude:
- Don’t vote for #autocrats - choose diversity
- Don't let #bigtech determine your life and thoughts
- Try to reduce your #carbon #footprint wherever possible no matter what others say


Unfortunately, the same situation in France with Total ... and elsewhere, for sure. Meanwhile, conservative and right politicians in several countries are against an excess profit tax!

How might one define 'super' profits, that should be subject to windfall tax?

When (fossil fuel) firms see abrupt rises in profits (see latest from BP), we know that:

new innovations have not come on line;

new investments are not (now) 'paying off'; but rather;

firms' costs remains broadly similar to what they were, but the price they can charge for their product has risen due to external market issues!

In other words *they* have done nothing to earn such profits

" In fiscal year 2024–25, Canada's federal government provided CAD 31.9 billion in subsidies and other financial support for energy production and consumption. Fossil energy received 75% of this support, followed by 22% for clean energy, and 3% for nuclear and mixed energy."

How a Secret Vote by U.N. Scientists Legitimized Carbon Capture and Skewed Decades of Climate Policy
---

A U.N. report concluded carbon capture could offset fossil fuels’ effect on climate change. Two decades later, the process has failed to meaningfully scale up, and it’s proving hard to take the promises back.

Hundreds of residents that made the cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey their home have been ordered to disembark in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, where the vessel has been stranded because it can't afford fuel. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/10/… #worldnews #society #cruiseships #cambodia #trump #middleeast #iran #straitofhormuz #oil #persiangulf #fossilfuels


And as @FrankLoock points out there is a natural 4th question:

4.) #taxtherich Will you introduce a tax for rich persons to get back the money they have stolen from people or are you being controlled by billionaires?

So how do we get #AI, #FossilFuels and #Billionaires out of the heart of government?
