"Why do many media outlets describe the result of #COP30 as a 'minimal compromise'? A plan for phasing out coal, oil & gas would have been the MINIMUM! The current result is MAXIMUM FAILURE, because it's a victory for the fossil fuel lobby. 'Saying it like it is' applies to #climate journalism too"
Warum bezeichnen viele Medien das Ergebnis der #COP30 als „Minimalkompromiss“?
Ein Plan für den Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl & Gas wäre das MINIMALE gewesen!
Das jetzige Ergebnis ist das MAXIMALE SCHEITERN, weil Sieg der fossilen Lobby.
