The initiative secured $25 million each from six oil companies: BP Plc, Eni SpA, Equinor ASA, Occidental Petroleum Corp., Shell Plc and TotalEnergies SE. Some countries also ponied up, with the United Arab Emirates that is hosting COP28 providing $100 million; the US, $2 million; Germany, $1.5 million; and Norway, $1 million.

No mention of #Adnoc? Isn’t there a bit of a scandal with Sultan Al Jabar being part of COP28 while being the CEO of Adnoc?

BTW, indeed that list of oil companies seems to be a lesser of evils AFAICT, apart perhaps from Shell who Greenpeace really picks on for some reason (maybe the spills?)

The greatest of evils should of course be boycotted. There is no reason you have to buy fuel from:

  • Chevron (an ALEC member who was caught financing the cloakroom project to conceal meetings between US republicans and giant corps)
  • Exxon/Mobil who discovered climate change and concealed it (#ExxonKnew)

The best action is to stop driving a personal car. But if you don’t think you can (yes you can; #fuckCars), the least you can do is boycott #Chevron and #ExxonMobile.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
