‘in the decade since 2015, the world’s “elite”, the top 1%, have increased their hordes of hoarded wealth by US$33.9 trillion. That’s trillion with a T, a number so gargantuan it is all but meaningless. Oxfam paints it in more coherent terms: enough money to “end global poverty 22 times over”.

South Korea announced it's going to phase out coal-fired power by 2040, a massive win for the climate.🌏
But you might not know that a few local climate groups in Australia played a part in making this happen!🌱

Honestly, the rot is far worse and more widespread than that. The way the entire energy world is nodding sagely at how adult and unavoidable and realistic it is to perpetually extend coal plants is possibly one of the grimmest things I've seen, and no one seems to have a clue how ugly it has become

NEW REPORT: Market Forces has identified 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans globally — aka the Fossil Fuel Expansion Index, or FFX 200.
These companies are actively driving more extreme #climate disasters. And your super fund probably invests in them.

Ask your MP (state and federal) when NSW residents will see governments plans to support coal workers and communities in the Hunter as coal export markets dry up. AND why we are not taxing coal companies to pay for it!
