Climate Justice

This conflict in Iran threatens the already vulnerable communities suffering from air‑pollution, water scarcity and disrupted energy supplies. Military actions damage oil and gas infrastructure, hiking fossil‑fuel emissions worsening global warming and hurt less adaptable low‑income populations

Class action accuses Amazon of ‘greenwashing’ its paper products A new class action lawsuit claims Amazon falsely advertised its Amazon Basics paper products as sustainable.

Love that we invented a word like "greenwashing" instead of just saying “lying.”

Bezos will only become more motivated to abandon green initiatives, support climate hoax propaganda, and deliberately mislead consumers in the wake of Trump's assault on the climate and democracy.

Chevron to 'triple-frac' half of Permian oil wells in 2025 to cut costs, time U.S. oil major Chevron plans to increase the use of a technique that allows it to fracture subterranean rock in three wells at a time in the Permian basin, the company told Reuters, in an effort to cut the time and cost of producing oil.

New in drought-stricken west Texas: Triple-fracking

Requires the same amount of sand and water as fracking one well at a time but uses them more quickly, thus Chevron needs 60% more water and sand per day with >10 trucks per hour delivering sand to the well pad.

At Cop29, we must treat the climate crisis with the same urgency as Covid – history shows it can be done | Mukhtar Babayev This emergency will cost trillions of dollars, and is beyond the reach of developing nations. Private investors have to step up, says Cop29 president Mukhtar Babayev

Remember how there was a global effort for a vaccine? Imagine if we treated climate crisis like it was contagious.

This article is from November, but still stands. COP30 must URGENTLY address the climate crisis. Top down approaches worked for COVID, they can work for the climate.

Disability advocates sue Social Security Administration and DOGE to stop service cuts New Social Security Administration reforms under DOGE are unlawful and harmful to vulnerable beneficiaries who rely on the program, a new lawsuit alleges.

Vulnerability doesn’t stem from being disabled. It stems from systems designed by people who think they’ll never be.  

Cuts to Social Security aren’t about “efficiency” - it's administrative violence.

This lawsuit is necessary, but it shouldn’t be.

Boots on Mars by 2029? Futurist says Musk plan is doable Elon Musk has said it’s possible to send a crewed mission to Mars by 2029.

The reality of humans colonising Mars is it's just a new planet for billionaires to argue about our skin colour and genitals on, while our original home burns due to their greed.

You've said it perfectly.

The greatest and most costly privilege of all is to never be held accountable for your actions.

The rest of us actually need to live with the consequences of the greedy elites' actions!

Next they'll be saying that pronouns tanked the economy 💁

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

‘Oligarchy’: Trump exempts big oil donors from tariffs package Trump’s new 10% universal tariffs will not apply to many fossil fuel products in sign of his fealty, advocates say

BIG OIL BOUGHT THEIR WAY OUT - AGAIN.

While everyday people brace for higher prices on a heating planet, Trump's Big Oil billionaires get a free pass on tariffs.

Climate justice means dismantling oligarchy, not subsidising it.

Next we have @meadwaj.bsky.social who is funnelling his anger and insight into action.

Some of his words:
Enough is enough.

We need a fundamental alternative to austerity. The solution cannot be to push more people into poverty.

It's been 15 years. No more!

#wedemandchange #springstatement

Individualism is the result of the oligarch collective - deliberately to divide us for their benefit and for their profits. This is the greatest ideological coup of capitalism.

Those at the top are so good at cooperating, we must be better!

Is TikTok a national security threat – or is the ban a smokescreen for superpower rivalry? Washington looks happy for the video app to harvest users’ data – as long as China does not reap the rewards

Extractivism isn't just about exploiting natural resources anymore. States, corporations, and certainly individuals, are in competition to extract your data, and exploit it however they see fit.

All under the guise of national security.

Pleased to see this piece in the Guardian, but I'll go a step further to say this is the corporatocracy in full view. We're witnessing a new wave of digital colonialism that attempts to control online narratives and the harvesting of data.

Thank you @dansabbagh.bsky.social 💚

Climate justice protesters blockade New Mexico Legislature on session’s opening day • Source New Mexico Climate justice protesters blockaded the street in front of the Roundhouse, demanding state lawmakers take immediate climate action.

Things may feel bleak right now but you are not alone.

Grassroots community organising is needed now more than ever - if you need hope, this is where to get it!

We are worth saving.

Thank you to these folks in New Mexico for showing up and taking action. We have work to do!

The media needs to show how the climate crisis is fueling the LA wildfires With few exceptions, the news has shied away from showing how the unfolding climate crisis plays a large role in the disaster

Many cannot comprehend how the LA fire could happen in winter, or understand the link to climate change.

The scientific community is so disconnected from news outlets, leading to public uncertainty on the climate.

We need News Literacy Education, yesterday.
