The Church of England plans to "engage" with planet roasters rather than divest from them.

People that profit from fossil fuels have found their way into various councils in institutions that are supposed to serve the public good. They use the resulting influence to protect their future profits by blocking moves that would serve the institutions' goals by reducing greenhouse emissions.

See the example of WGBH and its science programs (David Koch left the board, but kept influence on NOVA ; he died in 2019).

Experience shows that "engaging" with oil companies means nothing more than choosing to believe their greenwashing.

Fossil fuel companies have cut their employment by 30% since 2014. They pretend to employ lots of people, but it's not true.

Even if that claim were true, it would not be significant. It makes no sense to cause the death of hundreds of millions to get a hundred thousand jobs now.

Most of the Republicans in Congress are trying to sabotage the non-nuclear deal with Iran. Since convincing Iran not to develop nuclear weapons is important for US national security, and reestablishing the deal is the only way to achieve that, those Republicans have shown that they are willing to harm their country to get power over it.

The Mountain Valley Pipeline never had a valid environmental study, and it is too late to make one now since the construction of the pipeline has already caused damage to habitats and there is no way to measure what they were before. Thus, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is obligated to stop construction.

But since it disregarded the law before, can we expect it to obey the law now?

Bogus Johnson's latest bogus policy is to make it harder for Britons who catch Covid-19 to avoid spreading it, by charging them to get tested.

He seems to be awfully confident that Covid-19 will continue decreasing anyway, but what if that's not so?
