You dear Frau Ursula, have lost all respect, credibility and authority. Now we kindly ask you to remain quiet and let leaders do the talking (and thinking for that matter).
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

It’s a climate-vulnerable nation, while also being the world’s sixth-largest greenhouse-gas emitter. Global investment in climate action is vital

Climate policy needs to prioritise rapid fossil fuel phase out. Anyone who says otherwise is either deluded, wilfully ignorant, or lying. And at the same time, produce a massive increase in adaptation. Both are needed to reduce climate risks. 6/6 www.technosphere.earth/its-the-end-...

Israel violated the ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 47 times — killing 38 Palestinians and injured 143.
Today, 11 members of the same family were killed when their bus was struck by an Israeli tank shell.
This is a continuation of genocide by other means.
