Disobedient Art for a Fossil Free Future !
Great work CAN 👏 the distinction between Good COP and Bad is crystal clear at this point. The Fossil Fuel Industry must be identified and shunned at every possible opportunity. Fossil lobbyists Out of #COP30
Stormy start for week two in Belém:
👍 Civil Society Pledge for Fossil Free Politics
👎 Carbon Capture and Storage lobbies roaming wildly at COP30

The fossil fuel industry are lobbying to fill their already overstuffed pockets at the expense of all life on earth. Their reps should be banned from #COP30 and all future COP events, and their lies and deceptions punished by law. #EndFossilFuels
Guterres is right.
Even a temporary overshoot could unleash far greater destruction and costs for every nation. It could push ecosystems past catastrophic and irreversible tipping points.

Climate criminals Shell and Equinor have joined forces under under trading name Adura to dodge £1.3 billion in taxes, after already paying ZERO tax last year. Destroying the planet at the taxpayers expense. Despicable. Irredeemable. Their CEO's should be in jail, and companies sued into bankruptcy.
BREAKING 🚨: Activists are outside the Treasury calling out Shell’s £1.3BN tax dodge through its new Adura merger with Equinor.
Shell paid ZERO tax last year - and even got £12.4M back and now they're at it again.

The Fossil Fuel Industry are only interested in maximum profit, no matter what the cost. Even if that is a liveable planet. Their reps and lobbyists should be banned from #COP30 and all future COP's - like life depends on it.

Net Zero is a Big Industry Scam - Offsets have been rorted since the beginning, Carbon Capture has failed at every turn. Stop the problem at the source. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow
Net Zero ≠ Real Climate Action
📢 Across Europe, campaigners are calling out the failures of the net-zero agenda — and demanding a Real Zero approach instead.
👉 Real Zero means cutting emissions at the source, ending fossil fuels, and investing in real climate solutions.

1,000 litres of “BLOOD” spills from a Shell platform in the North Sea.
Activists just installed a giant piece of protest art by world-famous artist Anish Kapoor to symbolise the DAMAGE oil giants like Shell are inflicting on people and planet.

One reason fascism is rising world-wide, is that the fossil fuel industry knows the only way to continue their catastrophic business as usual - now everyone knows They Knew - is to bankroll corrupt politicians to do their bidding, no matter what. Now those states could be held liable. That matters.
