Environmental and Social policies of major Amazon oil and gas financiers fail to protect the Rainforest and its peoples banktrack.org/article/enviro…

"Nuestra petición a los bancos es sencilla: dejen ya mismo de financiar la extracción de petróleo y gas en toda la Amazonia." Fany Kuiru, en El Pais @coicaorg @standearth tinyurl.com/2955ahwp

As countries gather in Bonn for the #SB60 talks, @PriceofOil's @esbast and @CANIntl's @TasneemEssop remind rich countries: You have a bill to pay. You've got plenty 💸 to pay for a just energy transition . You're just spending it on the wrong things: climatechangenews.com/2024/06/10/no-…

"Our fate is your fate: the Amazon is critical for the future of our planet." - Fany Kuiru quoted in The Guardian's article on a new bank #greenwashing report about oil & gas destruction in Amazonia: tinyurl.com/bdfj4ju2 @standearth @coicaorg

@BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ @threareaderapp unroll

My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper mental, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop, and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot distance to one of the other buildings. I said, "Jim, there's no way you'll make that jump."

No matter how you feel about the outcome of COP28, you can stop financing fossil fuels today with your own money. Our new report just dropped--- co-authored by Paul Moinester, @jkrauspolk and I with editorial support from @mkhoff--- with some astounding findings:

@SkeeperChris @leahstokes already on bsky @skeeperchris! I don't have invites right now (that I know of) to share like Leah, though.

@leahstokes @leahstokes I would gladly accept an invite if you still have one. @MattKrogh, likewise?

@KassieSiegel @AGRobBonta @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @climatecosts This is awesome, Kassie, and thanks for the "I read it so you don't have to!" part of this. Out of curiosity, is this not a RICO case because of the 4 year limitations? Seems like in the last four years they at least clearly violated the wire fraud provision.

No time to read 135 page complaint from @AGRobBonta @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom in "most significant, decisive, & powerful climate action directed against the oil industry in US history" (@climatecosts)? No problem! Here's some of my favorite quotes from historic lawsuit:

"Bajo la presidencia de @petrogustavo, Colombia es la primera nación amazónica en respaldar lo que exige la ciencia: una meta para proteger el 80 % de la selva tropical para 2025 y un llamado a detener la extracción de petróleo en la Amazonía. Ese es precisamente el tipo de liderazgo que la humanidad necesita de usted, señor presidente", @MarkRuffalo

Under President @petrogustavo, Colombia is the first Amazon nation to back what science demands: a goal to protect 80% of the rainforest by 2025, and a call to stop oil drilling in the Amazon. That is precisely the kind of leadership humanity needs from you, Mr. President.

"There's time, but we've can't do it by just pissing around at the margins of the problem." @GeorgeMonbiot getting it right on stopping #climate and ecological breakdown

Do you read the book or watch the show first? 👀 Whether you’ve already watched THE WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS on @StreamOnMax or are planning to, make sure to pick up a copy of the memoir by Egil “Bud” Krogh and @MattKrogh that inspired the series!

A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy. That's not true. Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.

Not just US banks causing Amazon destruction by oil and gas financing: "Banco Santander financia a compañías que destruyen la Amazonía" @coicaorg #AmazoniaForLife #Amazonia80x25 sabemos.es/banco-santande…

"Canada’s financial heavyweights have pumped at least $1.3 billion into companies drilling for oil in the Amazon rainforest, new financial data reveals." thecanadian.news/canadian-banks…

Great article from @climate covering banks funding oil and gas in Amazonia. Check out exitamazonoilandgas.org for the complete list of who's funding oil and gas devastation in the region.
